From football to matte. Messi builds empire thinking about reform

Othe eyes of world football will be put, this Wednesday, starting at 00:00 (time of Continental Portugal), at the Mâs Monumental Stadium, in Buenos Aires, where will be the last meeting of Lionel Messi's career at the service of the main selection of Argentina, against Benin.

At the age of 39, the creative himself has already assumed that he does not have much football left in his legs (though he renewed his contract with Inter Miami almost a year ago until December 2028). Still, he has already begun to build an authentic empire, thinking precisely when he chooses to ‘hang the cleats’.

La Pulga closed the acquisition of Eldense, emblem that militates in the second echelon of Spanish football, where, curiously, will battle with Almería, which, not too long ago, saw 30% of the social capital be acquired by... Cristiano Ronaldo, its 'archrival'.

Before that, I had bought the EU Cornellà, the fifth division of the neighbouring country, and founded the LSM Deportivo, in Uruguay, together with Luis Suárez, his teammate and longtime friend. However, he promises not to stick around, as he will have a whole series of other emblems in view.

The goal is to create a network of clubs that allow players to grow and be transferred in a sustainable way. For now, all these projects are delegated to people of your trust, under the commitment that you will accompany them closer when you retire.

According to the British television station BBC Sport, for now, it is discarded the idea that the south american will invest in Newell’s Old Boys, club in which he completed training and for which he always confessed to feeding a special affection, because, when retiring, he intends to lead all operations from the house he keeps in Barcelona.

Messi's life won't just be football

Lionel Messi never had great aspirations to pursue his coaching career, given the constant frenzy it would force. He even considered being a sports director or a club advisor, before coming to the conclusion that his future will even go through the role of owner.

Still, your life won't just be made of football. In fact, it already has a wide range of investments in other branches, including hotels MiM Hotels, a set of properties ranging from Ibiza to Andorra, which was born from the junction with the Majestic group, which has a number of others.

La Pulga also does not lose sight of Rosario, the city in which she was born, and where her family business has a stake in Hangman M, an enterprise composed of 24 houses, whose sales are in charge of the real estate agency led by Angel di María, his compatriot and former Benfica player.

The creative also maintains a partnership with the restoration chain El Club de la Milanesa, which will result in the opening of five restaurants in Catalonia, without forgetting the collection of mate prepared together with the ‘giant’ of the drinking utensils Stanleyi'm sure you won't have to worry about sources of income anytime soon.
