Lionel Messi has found his new home.

Messi's new luxury home

According to Architectural Digest, Messi’s new 10,500-square-foot home is located along a waterway in the gated community of Bay Colony.

The sprawling property comes complete with a swimming pool and a three-car garage.

Images show the living area and open-concept kitchen featuring recessed lighting and white walls. Floor-to-ceiling windows can also be seen in each room.

Money is no problem for Messi

The eight-figure price tag may be so expensive for most people, but not for Messi.

The football icon’s net worth is reportedly $600 million, and more money is coming his way via his deal with Inter Miami.

According to club owner Jorge Mas, Messi’s contract will pay him between $50 and 60 million annually, per Forbes.

Signing Messi has already paid dividends for Inter Miami, who have turned their fortunes around ever since they landed the soccer superstar.

Messi inspires Inter Miami turnaround

He led the team to their first-ever title in the United States, capturing the Leagues Cup last month.

Messi scored in every game for the Herons during that historic title run, netting 10 goals in seven matches.

He also led Inter Miami to the US Open Cup final, inspiring a late comeback against FC Cincinnati in the semis with two assists in the second half.

Messi won’t be able to enjoy his new home at the moment as he is still with La Albiceleste for their World Cup qualifiers.

He made a triumphant return to Argentina, leading his country to a 1-0 win over Ecuador in their opening qualifying match.

Bolivian fans go crazy for Messi

He is now in Bolivia with his Argentine teammates as they prepare for their World Cup qualifier this coming Tuesday.

Sports Brief reported that Bolivian fans went crazy for Messi upon his arrival.

They cheered on the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner as he made his way to the hotel.
