Argentine football star Lionel Messi has reportedly bought a mansion in Ibiza worth GBP9.5million (approx Rs 87.66cr). According to The Sun, Messi, 35, has bought the property on Ibiza’s western coast from Swiss businessman Philippe Amon. 

The 20,020 square feet property has a large basement, a huge pool, as big as the house, and an outdoor football pitch. According to a report in Periodico de Ibiza, the deal was finalised on February 3 and a lawyer for Messi completed the paperwork as the legal representative of a company called Edificio Rostower, whose director is Messi’s brother, Rodrigo. The mansion has some planning issues, but the legal team were not aware of it during the purchase.
