Lionel Messi opted to purchase a mansion on the Balearic island of Ibiza after spending the summer there, but it’s reasonable to say that it has its fair share of issues.
According to reports, Lionel Messi bought a £9.5 million mansion in Ibiza. However, the property is turning out to be a nightmare.
The Swiss businessman Philippe Amon sold the house to the 35-year-old Paris Saint-Germain superstar close to the bay of Cala Tarida on Ibiza’s western coast, according to local media. According to the local newspaper Periodico de Ibiza, the agreement was signed on February 3 by a Messi lawyer acting on behalf of a company called Edificio Rostower, which is a subsidiary of another company whose director is the footballer’s brother, Rodrigo. Edificio Rostower is a company that belongs to another firm.
However, it is asserted that the mansion has planning issues and has not yet received a certificate of occupancy, which is a document issued by a local government body verifying that it is in a liveable condition. Several rooms that were built in the property’s garage before Messi bought it are said to be connected to the planning concerns.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s attorney is reportedly currently speaking with town hall representatives to try to find a solution. Although no one from San Jose Town Hall, which is in the municipality of Cala Tarida, was available for comment on Sunday, it is believed that Messi may have to tear down the rooms that were not originally included in the blueprints for the new-build property.
The footballer’s family frequently travels to Ibiza. While on vacation in a £250,000-per-week villa on a private island off the north coast of Ibiza, he and his friend Luis Suarez partied hard at upscale island club Ushuaia in June with their wives.
A few months after buying a hotel in Sitges, close to Barcelona, for £26 million, he bought the lovely Hotel Es Vive along the Figueretas beach in Ibiza, with 52 rooms, for £525 per night. The father of three also owns a mansion in Castelldefels, a town close to Barcelona. In 2009, he and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo paid £3.5 million for the property, and since then, they have spent more than $5 million renovating it.
One of his other homes is a big mansion dubbed “The Fortress” that is situated outside of his hometown of Rosario. The enormous home, which was constructed on three adjacent plots of land in a gated private estate, contains a large movie theater, a gym, and an underground parking garage with room for 15 vehicles. Despite the scheduling problems, Messi and his wife visited their Ibiza house this summer, according to reports in Ibiza.
According to reports, the 1860 square meter house has a 300 foot pool in addition to a sizable basement. Messi is thought to have kissed his wife at this home in a shot he posted on Instagram in June along with the romantic caption: “Sunset with her @antontelaoroccuzzo followed by a heart emoji. Drone images of the estate also reveal a football area near to the pool.
Messi’s Ibiza house acquisition was covered exclusively by Periodico de Ibiza, which reported that Messi’s legal counsel, a lawyer in Barcelona, was unaware of the mansion’s zoning concerns when the deal was finalized. The planning issues are now known to them, and Messi’s legal counsel is aware of what needs to be done to legalize the property. A football player’s attorney and the town hall have already had some discussions. “San Jose Town Hall has told us it can be legalized if the areas that didn’t form part of the original project are removed, namely the rooms in the garage,” the attorney said. The largest and busiest cove on Ibiza’s west coast is Cala Tarida, which has the shape of a horseshoe.
