Iran Press/ Asia: The future of Lionel Messi , who has a role as a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia, remains in doubt amid reports linking him to Saudi side Al Hilal and Inter Miami in the MLS.
In a video posted on Instagram, Messi claimed he had mistakenly thought he had a day off, and that he could not cancel his trip to the Middle Eastern country.
“First of all, I want to apologise to my teammates and the club,” he said. “Honestly, I thought we were going to have a day off after the game like we did in previous weeks.”
“I had this trip [to Saudi Arabia] organised which I had cancelled [once] already; I could not cancel it again […] I repeat: I want to say sorry for what I did. I’m waiting to hear what the club want to do with me.”
