Barcelona have been keen to send a message to former striker Jonathan Soriano after signing signing contracts with the Saudi club in the winter transfer season.
"We wish Soriano and Botia both success and success in their Saudi experience, hoping that their talent will be a source of interest for football fans in the Kingdom's stadiums and the Arab masses," he said.
The message also included Boutia, who joined Hilal at Mirkato last summer.
Soriano signed the contracts after the medical examiner passed through Riyadh after arriving in the Saudi capital yesterday.
