Lionel Messi has made his expensive private aircraft available to Argentina teammates who play in Europe so that they may come to Argentina for the Albiceleste’s next games.

Barcelona’s captain flew with Marcos Acuna, Lucas Ocampos, Paulo Dybala, Nicolas Otamendi, and Juan Foyth.

Lionel Scaloni has called up all of them for Argentina’s 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Bolivia.

Messi purchased the Gulfstream V private jet for somewhat more than $15 million at the end of 2018.

It measures 29m long, 28m broad, and 8m high and was built in the United States in 2002.

Messi typically uses it for family vacations, and his father, Jorge, also uses it for work trips.

It includes 16 executive seats that can be converted into eight bedrooms, two bathrooms, one with a shower, and two kitchenette.

The number 10 is etched on the plane’s tail, and the names of his wife Antonela and kids Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro are written on the stairs.

Messi and his teammates will arrive in Buenos Aires on Monday and will immediately report to Argentina’s training facility.

The Albiceleste will face Ecuador in their opening game at La Bombonera on October 8, followed by a match against Bolivia in La Paz five days later.
