Lionel Messi sheds light on life in US after switch to Inter Miami

Star football Lionel Messi has been making headlines ever since he moved to the United States and signed a contract with David Beckham's Inter Miami.

His switch shed new light on soccer in America and has brought in hundreds of new fans into the sport, Mirror reported.

It’s been a year since La Pulga moved to the US, however, the player has barely explored the area he lives in.

The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner lives in a luxury $10.75 million Fort Lauderdale mansion in Miami, which is situated inside a gated family home community. The two-story house has 10 bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a powder room, and two docks.

With a house like that, who would want to go out? In an interview with an Argentinian publication, Infobae, the former Barcelona player shared that he and his wife don’t go out a lot in the US.

He said: "No, the truth is that we don't go out much. We live in the area where the club is located."

He added: "We go out, we've gone out a couple of times, but I still don't know it well."

Messi has such a huge following in the US that every time he goes out, he gets swamped by fans. The 36-year-old player has been seen going out for dinners with franchise owner and former soccer player David Beckham.
