Argentinian star Lionel Messi recently brought great surprise to many people by wearing an Arabic costume, accompanied by rumors about his future.

In the recent match between Inter Miami and Montreal in the American Professional Soccer League (MLS), Messi did not appear in the starting lineup. It is also important to know that Messi previously suffered a harsh tackle in the CONCACAF Champions Cup match against Nashville SC. Therefore, the fact that Messi sat in the stands during Inter Miami’s recent loss to Montreal has raised concerns that Messi may have a serious injury. However, all worries were dispelled through coach Gerardo Martino’s sharing with the media about not sending Messi onto the field so that he could rest after the previous 4 consecutive matches.

Meanwhile, Messi brought extreme surprise to many people with his dressing up in Arabic attire. The image of the star who won the Golden Ball title 8 times appearing in an Arabic outfit was shared at a rapid pace on social networks along with rumors about Messi’s future. Some people even seemed understanding when asserting that perhaps this was a sign that Messi was ready to “turn around” to leave Inter Miami and move to play for a certain club in the Saudi Pro League. .

In fact, Messi doesn’t waste time and opens other doors once he hangs up his boots in the future. Therefore, Messi eagerly rushed into the fashion field. According to research, Messi has agreed to cooperate with Savyar, a Saudi Arabian brand specializing in selling clothes and other accessories. The image of Messi wearing an Arabic costume was taken during an advertising photo shoot for Savyar. Although the financial details of the contract were not disclosed, according to many sources, the 2022 World Cup champion received a relatively generous kickback. “Messi is one of the most famous and influential players in the world. We hope that this cooperation will achieve good results,” said Savyar brand representative.

Having said that, Messi previously cooperated with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Tourism to become a tourism ambassador for the oil country. Messi’s contract has a term of 3 years and a “huge” remuneration of up to 25 million USD. A number that is enough to shock many people, especially the enthusiastic fans of the Argentine star.

According to recent research results, the Visit Saudi campaign with the participation of Lionel Messi reached 747 million people in 92 countries in 20 different languages. “The biggest driver of public interest came from the collaboration on the social networking site Instagram between Visit Saudi and Messi. This has led to global attention on Saudi Arabia tourism. It is shown through Google and You Tube search data”, a representative of the Saudi Ministry of Tourism shared, “Lionel Messi’s participation not only brings Saudi Arabia into the global spotlight but also conveys a effectively address other important topics such as women’s empowerment, cultural change and tourism.”
