Lionel Messi has only been interested in one girl since he was a boy… 5 years old. All of Messi’s decisions are aimed at bringing the best for her and the small family they built together.
Argentine football player Lionel Messi (35 years old) refused an invitation to play football in Saudi Arabia with a salary of up to 400 million USD/year. He also decided to end his “old love” with Barcelona – the team that has been with Messi for almost the entire length of his career as a player.
Messi chose to join Inter Miami – a “bottom-ranked” club in the US. Many people were shocked by this decision. In fact, behind Messi’s choice is family priority. Messi wants his family to have a long-term quality and stable life in Miami (USA).

Joining the Inter Miami club was a surprising “move” for Messi. Inter Miami has just started playing in the American professional football tournament – Major League Soccer since 2020. This club is currently at the bottom of the table in the group of 15 teams in the Eastern region of the United States.
Former football player David Beckham is the team president and one of the major shareholders of Inter Miami. Leaving Paris Saint-Germain – a prestigious French football club, Messi rejected attractive offers and chose Inter Miami – a struggling team.
What made Messi make that decision? The answer is simple: You have more to consider than money.
Lionel Messi always thinks about his family in every decision
Messi spoke about his decision to join Inter Miami: “I’m at a point where I want to step away from the big attention, I want to think more about my family. I want to enjoy time with my family. If it matters It’s just a matter of money, I chose to go to Saudi Arabia or somewhere else, then I would receive a lot of money.”

First of all, regarding his career, Messi must have started thinking about his future after retirement. Owning a football club is an attractive direction for him. In American football, the opportunity for Messi to become a powerful figure and own a football club is entirely possible.
Former football player David Beckham used to play for the LA Galaxy club (USA), and now, David Beckham has become the president and major shareholder of the Inter Miami club. Messi can absolutely follow the same path as “senior” Beckham chose.
Messi once said that he did not think he would continue to play at the 2026 World Cup, because at that time he would be 39 years old. But if Messi is called up again to the Argentina national team to compete at the 2026 World Cup, the fact that he has soon settled into life in the US will be a big favorable factor.
The 2026 World Cup will be held in three North American countries including Canada, Mexico and the United States. If Messi participates in the 2026 World Cup, he and his family will enjoy many advantages. In some aspects, Messi seems to be in the “host” position.
Looking forward to the 2026 World Cup, Messi will attract more expensive advertising contracts, because he is the top famous player playing in the US – the country co-hosting the 2026 World Cup.

Second, the city of Miami is no stranger to Messi’s family, they spent the summer here in 2021. The coastal city left such a strong impression on Messi that he soon spent money to buy a cheap apartment. 9 million USD is located in a luxury apartment building.
Miami is a place where rich people in the US and in many other countries come to buy real estate. Miami is also the city with the largest Latin American community in the United States. More than half of foreigners who own real estate in Miami come from Latin America.
Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema – players who choose to play in Saudi Arabia, Messi has a different direction, he is aiming for the long-term future of himself and his family.
Joining Inter Miami, Messi will be able to raise three sons (ages 5 to 11) with his wife in a beautiful coastal city. Messi’s family will be able to enjoy a classy, quiet and private life. High-end residential areas in Miami highly value this factor.
With Inter Miami, Messi will have easier playing years and have more time to spend with his family. You and your loved ones will experience a life that is both classy and private in a beautiful city.
In that process, Messi can gradually realize his desire to own his own football club. When making this important decision, Messi calculated in the direction that was most beneficial for himself and his family.
Lionel Messi and faithful love since… 5 years old
Messi and his wife – Ms. Antonela Roccuzzo (35 years old) have loved each other since they were… 5 years old. The love between Messi and Roccuzzo is a “childhood” love. The two started building a relationship in 2008, and they officially got married in 2017. Currently, the couple has 3 sons. Wherever Messi plays, Roccuzzo and his children are always there.

Regarding his own career, Roccuzzo owns a very popular children’s fashion brand. Initially, Roccuzzo studied to become a dentist, but after deciding to stick with Messi, she became a “house minister”, taking care of the family on his behalf.
30 years have passed since Roccuzzo first met Messi. Currently, the couple owns many villas in different countries, such as Barcelona and Ibiza (Spain), Miami (USA), Rosario (Argentina). )…
Unlike the wives and girlfriends of many other famous players, Roccuzzo pursues a simple, private lifestyle. She doesn’t like showing off, partying, shopping… Messi’s love for Roccuzzo is also different. While the wives and girlfriends of football players are often models, showbiz stars, and social network stars, Messi’s wife is his childhood love.
Roccuzzo is the cousin of player Lucas Scaglia – a friend who has played with Messi since childhood. From the first time he met Roccuzzo at his friend’s house, Messi liked Roccuzzo.
Every time Roccuzzo goes to his cousin’s house to visit, young Messi always makes an excuse to stop by. Messi wrote Roccuzzo letters expressing his love. The young Messi soon hoped that when they both grew up, Roccuzzo would agree to be his girlfriend.

Since the age of 13, Messi has joined the training center of the Barcelona club (Spain), the young Messi still maintains contact with the girl Roccuzzo.
Five years later, Roccuzzo’s best friend died in a traffic accident. Messi heard the news and felt worried. He immediately returned to Argentina to be with Roccuzzo.
In adulthood, Messi and Roccuzzo want to start a relationship, even though they will have to be in a long-distance relationship. In his hometown, Roccuzzo attended college majoring in humanities and sociology. After graduating, she studied dentistry. But love forced her to change all her plans.
In 2010, Roccuzzo moved to Barcelona to be able to accompany Messi, ending his long-distance relationship days. In 2012, their first son was born.
When talking about his wife, Messi always has the most respectful words: “She has many good qualities with outstanding advantages. The way she handles daily tasks, her personality, her emotional state. Her balanced and very positive emotions… all make me feel admired.
She always faces problems in a very learnable way. My wife is a smart person and always excellent in my eyes in every aspect.”
