Staying in Florida is Lionel Messi’s decision. The Argentine soccer star recently bought a house in Fort Lauderdale, near Miami. Not long ago, Messi paid $10.75 million for the seaside property in Florida. The 36-year-old bought the two-story contemporary house in 1998, just before joining the Inter Miami team in July this year.
