Lionel Messi has recently purchased a private jet for £12 million, designed for luxurious travel with his family. The Inter Miami star’s new aircraft is customized with several personal touches.
The jet features Messi’s iconic number 10 on its fin, a nod to his Argentine heritage. The interior of the plane includes 16 seats, which can be converted into 8 beds, along with two bathrooms and a kitchen. The seats are equipped with reclining features and built-in TVs for added comfort.
Personalized details extend to the stairs leading up to the main cabin, where the names of Messi’s wife Antonela and their three children, Thiago, Ciro, and Mateo, are engraved.
While Messi is adjusting to his new lifestyle, Cristiano Ronaldo, his former rival, has commented on his absence from Spain. After a match against Juventus, Ronaldo was asked if he missed Messi and responded, “No, perhaps it’s him who misses me.” He noted his own experiences playing in various countries and expressed his contentment with his new life and challenges in Turin.

It remains uncertain whether Messi will use his new private jet to explore opportunities similar to those taken by Ronaldo.
