After just over six months in Miami, Argentine Lionel Messi's impact off the pitch is also increasing. The captain of the Albiceleste lives in a luxurious mansion in the Bay Colony neighborhood, a city whose commercial appeal he has contributed, albeit unintentionally, to. This was said by one of the player's neighbors who claimed that his residence has gained millions of dollars in capital value since the striker's move.
“So far, based on the current climate, I have already raised $25 million in equity in the home I own. Messi just moved right next to my house. “Everyone wants to be in our community,” businessman Patrick Bet-David told the YouTube channel VladTV.

Bet-David added that the very fact that Messi chose such a place of residence has aroused the interest of residents of the area, who are now returning home more often than before.
“It is a gated community on an island with only one street, very safe and very protected. God willing, it will still be that way. Now that Messi is here, everyone is coming with their boats to see the houses. “We’re fine,” added “Lio’s” neighbor.
When will Lionel Messi play at Inter Miami again?
A few days ago, Inter Miami announced its official schedule for the next MLS season, which will begin in the second half of February. They had previously agreed on a few pre-season friendly matches: first on Monday, January 29, against Al-Hilal and then on Friday, February 2, against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr.
