Giannis Antetokounmpo made a joke, and Al-Hilal Football Club responded in earnest.
On Thursday, the Saudi Arabia-based football club shared a photo of a jersey featuring Antetokounmpo in a social media post.
“Your jersey is ready @Giannis_An34,” Al-Hilal wrote. “Welcome ‘GIANNIS’ to our family.”

Recently, Antetokounmpo playfully suggested that Al-Hilal should think about signing him due to his resemblance to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Kylian Mbappé.
Despite Al-Hilal’s recent $332 million contract offer, the French football sensation Mbappé turned it down, opting to remain with PSG.
Instead, the football club based in Saudi Arabia struck an agreement with Neymar Jr., his teammate from PSG, spanning two years.
Upon noticing Al-Hilal’s tweet, Antetokounmpo replied with a photo of himself alongside Neymar.
Best duo in Saudi league!!

Amid the ongoing transfer window, Al-Hilal stands out as an active football club, having recently secured Yassine Bono from Sevilla and being on the verge of signing Aleksandar Mitrović from Fulham.
