Suarez is the latest high-profile guest to join Messi at his home to continue with the World Cup celebrations.

Reports suggest the legendary forward arrived in Argentina aboard a private jet on Thursday, December 22, with a video shared on Twitter showing his arrival.

ESPN reports that the former Liverpool star is likely to spend Christmas with the Messi's as they make merry.

Suarez and Messi are understood to be close friends, having forged a strong relationship during their time together at Camp Nou.

Messi's face could be put on notes

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Argentina's Central Bank is reportedly planning to honour Messi and his teammates after their World Cup glory.

Argentine newspaper outlet El Financiero disclosed that the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina is eager to mark the country's historic World Cup victory and has been working on ideas since last Sunday.

The general consideration is to have Messi's face put onto a new 1,000-Peso bill, with mock-ups of the 1,000-Peso note being discussed going viral.

Photos of the notes seen by Sports Brief online show Messi with a grinning face on one side, with the other having the squad's 'La Scaloneta'.
