Lionel Messi’s new mansion gives a glimpse into his posh lifestyle; it’s easy to see why the Inter Miami star rarely leaves the house.

In September, shortly after signing with David Beckham’s Major League Soccer team, the storied forward shelled out a whopping $10.75 million (£8.45 million) for his opulent lodgings, courtesy of real estate firm Team Simpkin. Since then, he’s been playing for Inter Miami alongside his Barcelona pals Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets.

Located on an island in the posh Bay Colony neighborhood, Messi’s mansion has a pool that looks out over the canals and the Fort Lauderdale skyline. With ten bedrooms, a luxurious VIP suite, and not one, but two boat docks, Messi’s mansion is ideal for entertaining his new teammates.The Argentina captain knows he’s the new kid on the block in Miami, but he still prefers to spend time at home with his family—his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their three sons—rather than out on the town. “No, the reality is that we also don’t go out very often,” Messi confided in Infobae, revealing his low-lit lifestyle.

The club is conveniently located near our home, and getting to Miami is a breeze. Even though we’ve gone out a few times, I’m still not too familiar with it.Messi is prepared to help Argentina defend their Copa America championship this summer, despite being 36 years old. He still has enough of energy left. Since the event is being held in the United States, he will not be venturing too far from his new territory.

Irоnicаlly, the grаnd finаle аnd аrgentinа’s finаl grоup encоunter versus Peru will bоth be held аt the sаme venue in Miаmi, the Hаrd Rоck Stаdium. It wоuld meаn the wоrld tо Messi if he cоuld clаim the Cоpа аmericа chаmpiоnship in his аdоpted hоmetоwn.

As for the difficulty of playing in the United States, Messi warned that the games in Miami will be unique due to the extreme heat and humidity. However, our group only has one remaining match in Miami, which is the third. If we keep winning and get it to the final, you won’t be able to return until then.

Aiming to become Argentina’s first captain to win the Copa America twice since Oscar Ruggeri in 1993, the Inter Miami star is determined to make history. If the reigning champions maintain their winning form, Messi’s apartment may become the hub of the team’s celebrations.

His move has already been a boon for his gated community neighbors, even though locals may be begging Messi and his teammates to keep quiet if they win the Copa America. The value of Patrick Bet-David’s house has skyrocketed since Lionel Messi moved in next door, according to the business entrepreneur.”So far right now, according to today’s climate, I’ve already made $25m of equity on the house I own,” said Bet-David. Messi has recently relocated beside my residence. Our community is the place where everyone wants to be.

Very secure, very private, it’s an island community with only one entrance. It is still, hopefully, the case. Everyone is fricking flocking to the area on their boats to see the houses now that Messi is there. It’s alright with us.

Before facing Chile in East Rutherford, New Jersey on June 26, Argentina will begin their Copa America campaign in Atlanta, Georgia on June 21, against Canada. With a return to the final in their sights, Argentina will play Peru in their third group match on June 26 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
