The Argentine Jorge Messi, father and agent of the star Lionel Messi, forward of the French team Paris Saint-Germain, arrived on Tuesday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
The Saudi newspaper Al-Jazeera published pictures of the arrival of Messi’s father, commenting: “The director of the Mahd Sports Academy, Professor Abdullah Hammad, and a close associate of His Highness the Minister of Sports, Prince Abdulaziz Al- Faisal, meets the father of the legend Lionel Messi, who is considered the proxy of his son’s businesses, in Saudi lands.
