LIONEL MESSI is now completely acclimated to living in Miami and the amazing lifestyle that it offers.
The Inter Miami ace, who is 36 years old, has emerged as the main draw of Major League Soccer (MLS), drawing a star-studded crowd to his games.
Since joining the Major League Soccer, Lionel Messi has been frequenting trendy locales such as Gekko and Miami Beach, and he has found a place to call home.

Naturally, he is attempting to replicate the lifestyle of an A-list celebrity.
The most extravagant purchase he has made to this point is his breathtaking mansion in Fort Lauderdale, which cost him 8.6 million pounds.
In addition to having its very own boat dock, this luxurious home also features eight bedrooms, nine and a half bathrooms, a garage with space for three vehicles, and its very own pool.
It is the ideal residence for him to raise his family in, which currently consists of his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their children Mateo, Thiago, and Ciro.

Messi, on the other hand, is making the most of his new surroundings even beyond those walls with the pricey decorations.
He is currently dining at the finest establishments, with Gekko, a popular restaurant in Miami, being his top choice.
However, the weekly shop has proven to be challenging due to the fact that Messi and his family have been surrounded by admirers who want autographs and demands for photographs.
Restaurant dining
Already, Messi is enjoying the world-famous cuisine and places that Miami has to offer.
It seems that his go-to establishment is the hip Gekko, which is a steakhouse and club with a Japanese flavor.
It is the place to be seen in The Magic City because it serves sushi, steaks that cost one thousand pounds, and specialty cocktails.
It is obvious who brought Messi to the restaurant for the first time.
After the Argentinean’s arrival in Miami, the owner of Inter Miami invited him out to eat at a local restaurant alongside Sergio Busquets, who he had played with previously at Barcelona.
Even the three of them decided to post a picture of themselves smiling broadly on Instagram.
During the festivities that greeted Messi’s arrival, they were joined by their spouses, Antonella and Victoria Beckham.
It was never made clear what kind of food they consumed.
On the other hand, the restaurant offers a variety of delectable specialties, including lobster, olive-fed filet mignon, iced oysters with watermelon granita, and more.
It has become something of a sanctuary for celebrities, with Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, and Bryan Cranston all having been seen dining there at various times.
Wag Antonella was able to spend some quality time with her girlfriends last night.
A month ago, Antonella was observed celebrating alongside Victoria Beckham and her close friends.
During the previous month, she was seen with Victoria Beckham at Papi Steak, which is also a trendy hangout.
They were joined by other Wags, Elena Galera and Andrea Rajacic, who are respectively the partners of Sergio Busquets and Thierry Henry.
Mainstay of Miami Beach
One of Messi’s first nights out with his family was spent at a Miami Beach pasta restaurant that was a favorite of both Messi and his family.
They went to Cafe Prima Pasta, which has dishes starting at $19.95 (£16) and going up to $26.95 (£22) for the most costly item, which is seafood linguini. The prices are fairly reasonable overall.
The kids would have loved trying all of the different kinds of ice cream and pastries that were offered, from tiramisu to cheesecake and everything in between.
The owner, Gerard Cea, made sure that Messi posed for a picture, and one of his sons sat atop a drum set in the background of the picture.
When Lionel Messi attempted to leave quietly through the back door, he was immediately surrounded by a horde of fans who had been waiting for him.

When Messi and his family left the restaurant, fans swarmed around them and mobbed them.
He paused in order to take souvenir photographs, and a fan went so far as to lay a kiss on Lionel Messi’s cheek.
For his part, the famed No. 10 appeared to be feeling a little self-conscious about all of the attention.
Antonella was also questioned by reporters as she exited the restaurant, but she merely smiled at them as she led their sons to their vehicle instead of answering their questions.
Sand, water, and sunshine
Messi spent a few days off with his wife Antonella before his presentation, which took place during a rainstorm.
They behaved in a manner consistent with that of a typical couple in their opulent new environment.
The happy couple was seen strolling along the beach hand in hand while enjoying some quality time together.
Mrs. Messi posted a picture to Instagram showing her husband and son strolling along the beautiful white sand.

There was a feeling of love in the air between Messi and Antonella, and Antonella referred to her new surroundings as “Paradise.”
She captioned the shot with the word “Paraiso,” which, when translated into English, means “Paradise.”
That is something that can’t be debated.
Home is where the heart is; the proverb goes.
The incredible real estate portfolio that Messi already possesses in Miami is valued at £15 million.
This comprises an incredible apartment with 4,400 square feet of living space in the prestigious Porsche Design skyscraper, the entirety of the ninth floor of the Regalia Tower on Collins Avenue, and TWO premium flats in the Trump Royale skyscraper, which is located nearby.
And with the construction of his breathtaking new estate in Fort Lauderdale, he’s only added to it more.
According to Forbes, it has a total area of 10,500 square feet, eight bedrooms, nine and a half baths, a three-car garage, and a pool. In addition, there are nine and a half bathrooms.
In addition to that, there is a spa, a workout area, and TWO boat docks.
It is estimated that the annual property taxes will come to something in the neighborhood of £67,000 for the home.

The exterior of the home is stunning, and the interior lives up to its reputation.
One of the rooms features a model of a sheep, which, in my opinion, ought to be replaced with an image of a goat since the rest of the decor is so distinctive.
Messi will be able to take pleasure in the scenery outside while basking in the abundant natural light that floods the home through the big windows.
Additionally, “bespoke finishes that speak to the highest standards of luxury design” have been applied to the walls and floors.
Inventories taken from stores
As part of his adjustment to life in the United States, Messi has started going grocery shopping.
In the month of July, he was observed at a Publix in South Florida stocking up his shopping cart with various items.
A cursory inspection of the contents of his shopping cart revealed that he was a huge fan of breakfast cereals.
When it comes to having breakfast at home, Messi and his family are just like the rest of us, as seen by their consumption of General Mills’ Lucky Charms and Kellogg’s’ Fruit Loops.
A fan favorite from Love Island has announced a significant new career transition away from reality television.
