LIONEL MESSI is gearing up for his big move to the MLS.
The Argentina World Cup winner, 36, will link up with David Beckham’s Inter Miami in a deal worth £47million-per-year, when his contract expires at PSG on July 1.
Already, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is on the hunt for a new home.
According to reports, Messi is eyeing up a waterfront condo for his family, including Wag Antonella Roccuzzo and their brood.
However, he already has an extensive property portfolio in The Magic City worth £15million.
This includes an amazing 4,400-square-foot apartment in the exclusive Porsche Design Tower, the entire ninth floor of the Regalia Tower on Collins Avenue and TWO luxury units in the nearby Trump Royale tower.

Porsche Design Tower, £7million
In 2019, Messi paid $9million (£7million) for a beautiful apartment in Sunny Isles Beach in the Porsche Design Tower that was completed in 2017.
Boasting astonishing views of the coastline, it is branded by the German car manufacturer and is not short of amenities.
The most impressive and original feature is the Dezervator – a one of a kind lift that transports you and your car to your unit.
Residents have access to a private restaurant, chilled wine lockers, and an outdoor lounge facing the Atlantic Ocean.

While there is a floor in the building dedicated to a private cinema, golf simulator and racing simulator.
There’s also 24-hour security, a heated swimming pool, gym and spa.
It has been reported around 20 billionaires have homes there.
Regalia Tower, £6million
Two years after splashing the cash on his Porsche Design Tower abode, Messi flexed his wealth by paying £6million for a bigger property just a few doors down.
Only 39 residencies are available in the Regalia Tower, which makes it incredibly exclusive.
Reports suggested that Messi bought the entire ninth floor of the tower.
That amounts to over 5,500-square-feet of space, meaning its huge.
The apartment boasts four bedrooms and several bathrooms, while the decor is said to be second-to-none.
Think Italian marble, fine woods and a wine cooler that can house a thousand bottles.
The residents also have a choice of six swimming pools to use, a spa, fitness centre, yoga studio, children’s playhouse, chef’s kitchen, and a champagne bar.
Rent costs a reported £31,000-per-month.
Trump Royale, £800,000 each
Also on the Capital of Cool, and again just a few doors down from the Regalia Tower, is the Trump Royale.
Little is known about the two purchases the ex-Barcelona man made in the building on the 40th and 43rd floor.
But, it has all the amenities of a five-star hotel.
Inside, you”ll find concierge services, travel reservations, catering, chauffeur services, and an upscale business centre.
However, there’s less privacy – meaning they were always bought as more of an investment.
The 55-story building has 278 luxurious units.
And the one he rented…
In 2021, Messi rented a beautiful four-story Biscayne Keys home for £200,000-per-month during the Copa America.
It is likely this is the blueprint for what the forward is looking for in a new home.
That property sat on the waterfront, and had an infinity pool, a boat dock, and an extensive roof terrace.

With five bedrooms, it was more of a family home than the apartments he already owns and gave him a taste of what Miami life could feel like.
Add to that buzzing social scene, A-list celebrities Gisele Bundchen, Tom Cruise, Cindy Crawford, Shakira and more, Messi will be in good company.
