Lionel Messi, the Argentine soccer legend and Inter Miami forward, just scored a sweet — and massive — home in South Florida. 

The global sports icon has entered into an agreement to acquire four residences within the Cipriani Residences Miami, an upscale 80-story tower under development by Mast Capital. 

Sources close to the transaction told the Wall Street Journal that one of the units, a spacious four-bedroom spread spanning roughly 3,500 square feet, carries a price tag of approximately $7.5 million. 

Specifics regarding the other three units remain under wraps.

Messi, 37, who signed with Inter Miami in 2023, is no stranger to the region’s luxury housing market. 

His existing portfolio includes a $10.75 million waterfront estate in Fort Lauderdale and several condominiums in Miami’s Porsche Design Tower, according to public records. 

This latest purchase further cements his status as a prominent player in South Florida’s high-end property scene.

The Cipriani Residences project, which broke ground with sales in 2022, promises an array of exclusive perks for its residents. 

Upon completion in 2028, the tower will boast a pair of pools, a private dining venue, a speakeasy-style lounge and full catering services. 

Fortune Development Sales is overseeing the marketing of the property, which is capitalizing on Miami’s booming appetite for new luxury developments.

Miami’s condominium landscape, however, is currently a tale of two markets. 

While freshly built towers like Cipriani Residences enjoy robust demand, older properties are grappling with sluggish sales and swelling inventory. 

Data from the Miami Association of Realtors indicates that the median price for condos and townhouses climbed 8% in February compared to the prior year, underscoring the strength of the upper-tier segment.
