Lionel Messi has been spotted house hunting in Boca Raton after making history by joining Inter Miami. He’s seeking for a new location to live.
The Argentine legend was accompanied by his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their eldest son Thiago, who was wearing an Inter Miami jersey bearing his father’s name.
Messi’s move to the United States was announced earlier this month in a spectacular ceremony held before the 36-year-old forward’s first game, in which he scored the game-winning goal in the final minute.
Following that, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has taken over as captain of Inter Miami, followed up by scoring two goals and providing an assist in his second outing.
Messi also appears to be enjoying himself away from the field of play. Both he and Antonela couldn’t stop smiling as they toured a beautiful home in Boca Raton, which is about an hour north of Miami and only 25 minutes from DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

Messi was taken on a tour of the mansion, which appeared to contain a golf putting green. Someone was even observed giving Messi a brief demonstration with a club in hand.
Messi and Antonela married in 2017 and have three children: Thiago (ten), Mateo (seven), and Ciro (five).
This would not be the family’s first investment in South Florida. They already possess a $ 9 million luxury property with views of Sunny Isle Beach and Miami.
According to sources, the World Cup winner purchased the flat in the Porsche Design Tower in 2019.
The 60-story tower is located between Bal Harbour and Aventura, 25 minutes from Inter Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium.

After signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami, Messi is anticipated to earn $50-60 million every season.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez has admitted that he and Messi still ‘hope of retiring together’ despite talks between the Uruguayan’s present club Gremio and Inter Miami falling through.

He appeared to be in excellent spirits while on a house-hunting vacation with his wife and children.
Suarez had wanted to rejoin with Messi and co. at the MLS club. However, negotiations for an agreement have since broken down.
Suarez told Uruguayan television show Punto Penal, “With Messi, we dream of retiring together.”
‘When we were in Barcelona, it was something we always planned. And from one year to the next, I was at Atletico Madrid, while he was at PSG (Paris Saint-Germain).
‘We dreamed about it and talked about going to the United States after Barcelona, but nothing happened at the moment.’
‘Now he’s taken the decision to travel there, and from what you can see, he appears pleased, so we’re hoping that possibility will come true at some point.’
