Lionel Messi is purchasing a nearly $10.8 million waterfront mansion in a South Florida suburb, after a blockbuster contract lured the soccer superstar to the US.
The purchase was handled by a firm linked to Alfonso Nebot Armisen, who helps manage Messi’s investments, according to public records. The 10,500-square-foot (975-square-meter) home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has 8 bedrooms, a three-car garage and a pool, according to a statement. The property previously sold for $9 million in May 2022.
