But the soccer icon and his family are currently in the Caribbean enjoying their final holiday of the summer.
Messi and wife Antonela Roccuzzo have both documented their summer break by posting multiple holiday photos on Instagram.
On Tuesday, Messi shared two photos. One showed himself and Antonela posing in swimwear while standing in the ocean. The other included the couple’s three sons – Mateo, Thiago and Ciro.

After the holiday is over, the Messi family will be relocating to Miami, where they will reportedly live in a luxury apartment inside the Porsche Design Tower.
Messi agreed to join Major League Soccer side Inter Miami last month, snubbing a mega-money offer from Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal in the process.
The 36-year-old Argentina captain left Paris Saint-Germain this summer following two seasons in the French capital.
Messi’s MLS debut cannot come soon enough for fans of Inter Miami.
