Lionel Messi and wife Antonela splash out on $10.75m estate near Inter Miami’s stadium… that includes 10 bedrooms, a spa and two boat docks

Lionel Messi and his young family have bought a sprawling new $10.75million estate in Fort Lauderdale which features 10 bedrooms, a spa room, two boat docks and a swimming pool.

The Argentina superstar – who signed a two-and-a-half-year deal worth $50-60m a season – has been looking to expand his property portfolio since joining Inter Miami in the summer. 

He already owned a luxury $9m apartment in Miami but had recently been spotted house hunting with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and their son Thiago in the Boca Raton area. 

But Messi has now signed off on a new 10,500 square-foot property within the gated community at Bay Colony, one of the floating neighborhoods north of Fort Lauderdale.

The stunning house is just off the beachfront, barely a 15-minute drive from Miami’s DRV PNK Stadium and training base.

The property features 10 bedrooms, a spa room, two boat docks and a swimming pool

The 36-year-old will move into the property alongside his wife Antonela and their young family

It sits on the canals which weave through South Florida and features a swimming pool which sits on the edge of the water.

Inside, the house features nine bathrooms, an Italian kitchen, a fitness and spa room, a VIP suite and a balcony which looks out over the the Fort Lauderdale skyline.

Messi – who is currently away on international duty with Argentina – bought the property with the help of Team Simpkin, who have helped players at the MLS club buy properties since its founding in 2018.

According to Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, the World Cup winner bought a Miami apartment in the Porsche Design Tower all the way back in 2019.

According to the listing, the house features ‘an Italian kitchen with top of the line appliances’

Also included are an ‘entertaining lounge, executive office, VIP suite and Captain’s Suite’

As well as car lifts, the apartment has its own private restaurant, an outdoor lounge that faces the sea.
