      The 23-year-old claims he was on the market for a house in Florida when the Argentinian legend swooped in and bought the mansion.
      Messi was on the lookout for a house in the area after signing for Inter Miami in the summer.
      Ross claimed he would now build his own home to rival the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s stunning pad.
      He said on a stream: “I got outbid with the house I wanted.

      “I really wanted a house in Miami so now I have to build my own house because it’s impossible to find a house that I like.
      “And I got outbid by a very, very famous professional athlete, who is very rich.
      “It’s nothing about me being broke. I just couldn’t get to there in time. I saw the house, but they were already in talks and all that.
      “The professional athlete is Messi. Messi’s parents, I think it was.

      “I believe it was his grandparents, or I don’t know who the f**k it was.
      “Messi, they wanted a crib for their grandchildren or some s**t, they were playing a game. I don’t even know and they got it.”
      Back in August, the ex-Barcelona star and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were snapped house hunting in Miami.
      They eventually splashed £8.6million on an incredible waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale that has a pool, spa and boat docks.
      Messi already owns four apartments along Miami beach worth a combined £15m.
      It is unclear what house Ross was referring to.
      He also has houses in Barcelona, Ibiza and in his home town of Rosario.

      With those accolades has also come a vast sum of wealth.
      He is estimated to have a net worth of around £50million.
      However, following his fight against Dillian Whyte in April 2023, some estimates put that figure as high as £130m.
      Fury has put this wealth to good use, investing in a number of luxury assets.

      Cars are one of the main items Fury’s money has gone towards, with his garage featuring a pair of Rolls Royce, a Porsche Taycan and a Ferrari to name but a few.
      But chief among his assets are his houses.
      Fury is said to own a number of properties, including the £1.7m pad featured in his Netflix documentary At Home With The Furys and a Las Vegas home where he is said to have let his coach stay cost free.
      Below we will take a look at some of the stunning properties.

      The home featured five bedrooms
      For years Fury and his family lived in a beautiful five-bed home in Morecambe.
      Tyson has remained adamant he would never uproot his home from Morecambe telling ITV doc Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King in 2020: “Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame?
      “I love it… It’s true beauty. If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid.”
      And considering the Fury’s former house, it’s clear to see why he would not want to leave.
      In 2021, the five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home of Fury that overlooked Morecambe Bay was estimated to be worth £550,000.
      Fury’s wife Paris often gave fans a sneak peek into their home
      The home was suitably decked out inside as well, as shown thanks to the snaps Fury’s wife Paris often shared to her social media pages.
      Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action and a trophy cabinet were all present in the property.
      There were even gold curtains and a huge gold-framed Versace mirror.
      A walk in wardrobe was also a frequent sight on Paris’ stories, featuring designer handbags and glamorous outfits to rival the Kardashian’s of the world.

      True to his word, Fury snubbed a move elsewhere in order to remain by his beloved Morecambe.
      In December 2020, Fury brought a new seaside mansion which, according to Land Registry documents obtained by The Mirror, set Tyson Fury Ltd. back a cool £1,695,000, and is mortage-free.
      With seven children in tow – after welcoming their seventh in September 2023 – the new property gave the Furys a new lease of Morecambe life.
      Paris was given free reign on the interior design of the stunning property, which features gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters and a grand piano.
      The home featured heavily in the Netflix show At Home With The Furys, which offered fans a glimpse inside the chaotic and full-on life of Britian’s top heavyweight boxer.
      There is a castellated front wall and wrought-iron black and gold fence and CCTV warning signs for security as well as lion motifs and four eagle sculptures to keep up appearances.
      A water fountain can also be seen at the front of the property, while there is also a mini-playground with the “Gypsy King” logo painted on the floor outside.

      Fortunately, Paris has upgraded her walk-in wardrobe for her amazing shoe collection – estimated to be worth a cool £50,000.
      Speaking to loose women in 2020, Paris – who tied the knot with Fury in 2009 – explained the move came from them deciding to prioritise their children’s safety.
      She said: “We get people around the house. It’s not good, we actually have to because of that.
      “We’re in the process of moving house because we’ve had too many people at the door – too many strangers knocking.
      “And we have five children here, it’s not like me and Tyson’s here, two adults who can sort of deal with situations.
      “We have people coming to the house and the kids are opening the door and we don’t know who they’re opening the door to. It’s not what we need. It’s not the ideal situation.”

      But it hasn’t always been fancy digs for Fury, as once upon a time, he lived in a caravan on his father’s land.
      Fury was raised as a traveller and left school at 11, but never lost touch with his roots despite his fame and fortune.
      Indeed, dad John still retains that way of life as shown in the Netflix doc.
      On his ITV documentary, Fury was seen wheeling his wagon around outside his Morecambe home.
      Marbella home
      Fury is also said to own a stunning white-cobbled mansion in Marbella, Spain reportedly worth up to £6m.
      Pictures from 2018 have shown Fury in front of the property which features columns, large windows and an array of palm trees.
      After revealing the pad on his story he said: ““New house had to treat myself.
      “Been a long time coming. But the Mack in back [sic]. MTV Cribs blessed by God.”
      Fury shared a snap in front of a stunning Marbella mansion
      Sin City digs
      Fury’s property empire is not limited to this side of the Atlantic either.
      Over in Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, Fury is said to own a stunning mansion as well as one other property.
      Fury explained that he uses the pad when he fights in the United States, such as in his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder.
      And his coach SugarHill Steward has been allowed to stay at the property rent free until he is called upon to help Fury with his fight preparation.

      Fury previously said ahead of his fight with Derek Chisora: “I have bought a big beautiful house out there and never really used it, one camp.
      “My trainer SugarHill is living in the house rent-free right now, sending me photos of all the fun he is having. I love it over there.”

      Inside Wayne Rooney’s £20m ‘Morrisons mansion’ that boasts full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, cinema and pool

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY is returning home to England and his family – and will be living in his £20million “Morrisons mansion” that has a full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, cinema and a pool.The Manchester United and England legend has just been named as the new manager of Birmingham City and replaces the axed John Eustace at St Andrews.
      Wayne, Coleen and the rest of the Rooney family moved into their dream home in 2021Credit: Instagram
      Their £20m Cheshire home was dubbed the ‘Morrisons mansion’ during constructionCredit: BackGrid
      The house sits on a whopping 40 acres of land and has two fishing lakes, a cinema and pool
      Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the gated home
      He will be joined at Brum by Arsenal and Chelsea icon Ashley Cole and former United team-mate John O’Shea who will be working alongside him as coaches.
      Rooney left MLS side DC United at the weekend after they failed to make the play-offs.
      He had been living with his coaching staff in Washington while wife Coleen and their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass remained in England.
      However, after joining the Tom Brady-backed Blues he will be getting all the support he needs from his family as he returns home to join them full-time at their lavish Cheshire mansion.
      READ MORE ON SPORT
      Rooney, 37, and Coleen, also 37, boast a sizeable property portfolio, including homes in Florida, USA, the Caribbean and across the UK.
      But the jewel in the crown is their six-bedroom £20m palatial house which sits on a 40-acre piece of land.
      Built from scratch, the family moved in in December 2021.
      It is said to be located in Cheshire and is named High Lake Manor.
      Most read in Championship
      Rooney and his partner could even technically call themselves the lord and lady of the manor.
      We revealed back in its development how United’s all-time top scorer had a full-size football pitch installed at the property and it comes complete with a seating area.
      The five-a-side pitch even boasts changing rooms with showers for his mates – although he was blocked from installing floodlights because of his mansion’s rural location.
      He also boasts a garage for his collection of cars, a cinema, swimming pool, and even two man-made fishing lakes.
      Rooney is thought to be a keen angler.
      The house had been previously mocked for looking like a Morrisons supermarket by neighbours due to its size and architecture.
      But, unlike a Morrisons, it now boasts an orangery, bar, TV room, snooker room, cinema and wine cellar.
      And the luxury Rooney pad also has a huge indoor swimming pool surrounded by a glass pavilion, a hot tub, plunge pool, steam room and “his” and “hers” changing rooms.
      But that is not all – it boasts an extensive patio, landscaped gardens and a luxury car garage.
      Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the mansion, which also has a guest toilet and separate lifts.
      That second lift also connects the main space to the basement floor, which sports a sprawling gym, pool, Jacuzzi and cinema room.
      The decision to build their dream pad came after raiders tried to break into Rooney’s Cheshire home in 2016 before cops pounced.

      The ex-striker grew up in a council house in Liverpool – but he has shown off his real estate skills with his sprawling Barbados villa, which he rents out for £25,000 a week.
      He snapped up a £320,000 waterfront apartment in the Sunshine State of Florida in 2007 and splashed out £450,000 on a detached home in Liverpool for his parents to live in.
      Now he and Coleen, who are believed to be worth around £115m, own properties across the globe after getting together aged 16.
      Rooney burst through the ranks at boyhood club Everton as a teenager and starred for England at Euro 2004 before a big-money move to Manchester United.
      Under Sir Alex Ferguson he went on to lift the Champions League and the Premier League title five times.
      Rooney surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s record for both United and England to become the record goalscorer for club and country – the latter now being overtaken by Harry Kane.
      He made an emotional return to Everton in 2017 and finished that season as their top scorer before moving to the MLS to sign for DC United.
      The then veteran bagged 23 goals in 48 matches for the American side but headed back to England to join Championship club Derby County in the 2020/21 season in a surprise move.

      Rooney then retired from playing to take over as manager when the Rams were rock bottom of the table.
      He guided them to safety but resigned at the end of the following campaign after Derby were relegated to League One following a huge points deduction and returned to become boss at DC United.
      Rooney was in charge for 52 games, racking up just 13 wins and 26 defeats, before his departure but will now be tasked with guiding Birmingham back to the big time under their new American owners.
      After being announced as manager, Rooney said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Birmingham City football club at such an exciting time.
      “It is very clear that they have a plan and are committed to realising their ambition for the club. We are fully aligned on what is expected.

      Shamed ex FA chief Luis Rubiales forced to sell his £1.2m home in the wake of ‘kiss-gate’ scandal and divorce battle

      by

      EX-Spanish Football Association Chief Luis Rubiales has been forced to sell his luxury Madrid apartment in the wake of the “kiss-gate” scandal.The £1.2million mansion has been put on the market as Rubiales faces mounting legal bills after his non-consensual kiss with footballer Jenni Hermoso and an increase in alimony to his ex-wife and kids.

      The former FA chief already has to pay double alimony for his daughters after his ex-wife won a lawsuit against him, according to El Mundo.
      Rubiales separated from his wife in 2013, and now has to pay 800 euros per month for each of his three daughters – another financial blow.
      Hermoso filed an official criminal case against Rubiales earlier this month, as the disgraced FA chief continues to insist he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
      Now in a bid to secure funding for his legal fight, the ex-football boss has put his stunning duplex apartment in the exclusive neighbourhood of Rosales, in Madrid, up for sale.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Rubiales bought the completely renovated property for £1.1million, but could make a profit of £100k by selling it £1.2million, according to Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
      Spread over two floors, the stunning property has two bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a private pool with access to shared gardens, a community pool, gastrobar, home cinema room and gym.
      The ground floor boasts a large living and dining room, two en-suite bedrooms, three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, an office, storage room and double garage.
      Finishing touches include a home automation system, underfloor heating and motorised blinds. 
      Most read in Football
      The property is located in a historic building that dates back to 1946 and was, coincidentally, the old Provincial Court of Madrid.
      It is situated in the heart of the capital, just a short walk away from the Plaza de España, and was designed by top architect firm Touza Arquitectos.
      Rubiales put the property up for sale after Hermoso, 33, claimed she “felt vulnerable and the victim of aggression” after the kiss.
      Footage appeared to show Rubiales planting a kiss on the player after Spain triumphed over England at the Women’s World Cup final last month.
      Rubiales initially refused to resign and blamed “false feminism” for his “social assassination”.
      Only days ago, the ex-footy chief was hit with another blow as he was given a restraining order which bans him from contacting Jenni Hermoso or going near her.
      Spain’s former FA president was banned from coming within 200 meters of Hermoso or trying to communicate with her.
      It comes after Hermoso alleged she and her relatives were put under pressure by Rubiales and his entourage to say that she approved what happened.

      The lucrative region in South Florida is set to play host to Messi and his family for at least the next two years after he signed a deal with Inter Miami until 2025.

      Inside luxury enclave where Mason Greenwood could live in eight-bedroom mansion in Spain’s ‘Beverly Hills’

      by

      MASON Greenwood could be set to move into a sprawling mansion in an exclusive neighbourhood that was once home to superstars like David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane. On Friday the striker sealed a season-long loan deal to LaLiga side Getafe in an attempt to kick start his career.

      Manchester United will contribute around £8,000 per month toward the villaCredit: PROMORA/YOUTUBE
      Big stars such as Beckham and Zidane used to live in the area
      Manchester United confirmed last month Greenwood would not play for the club again after a six-month internal investigation into rape and assault charges that were dropped.
      The Sun exclusively revealed that Man United had put together a care package worth £8,000 per month which will pay for villa near his new club’s training ground.

      Now The Sun can reveal that Greenwood could be set to move into an exclusive enclave on the outskirts of Madrid that was once home to superstars such as Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane and Gareth Bale.
      Fernando Torres and Sergio Ramos are among the current residents in LaFinca, where properties sell for around €15million and can cost up to €20,000 per month to rent.
      It is known as one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Spain, offering top notch security and most importantly, privacy.
      The enclave is described as Spain’s ‘Beverly Hills’ and is home to some of the country’s wealthiest people with sprawling mansions, luxury golf courses and shopping malls.
      A private security firm has agents patrolling its tree-lined streets, while guards are stationed at the entrance 24/7.
      It has three perimeter fences to keep out unwelcome visitors and any potential burglars, while scores of security cameras have every corner covered.
      Most read in Football
      It is deemed so safe that many of the homeowners reportedly don’t even bother installing an alarm system in the upmarket area of Pozuelo de Alarcon.
      Bale paid around £10,000-per-month in rent to stay in the Pozuelo de Alarcón part of La Finca, in an amazing 1,500 square metre property that is built on two-storeys.
      It boasts four bedrooms, an indoor pool, gym, two utility rooms, several terraces and porches, as well as a six-car garage.
      Former Man United ace Ronaldo bought a home there for around €5million in 2010 before carrying out extensive renovation works.
      It now counts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fully-equipped gym, garage and more.
      The home was last year shown on the Netflix reality show ‘Soy Georgina’, which followed the daily life of his partner Georgina Rodriguez.
      LaFinca is one of two luxury neighbourhoods that Greenwood would likely move to, the other being La Moraleja, just a further 20 minutes’ drive north-east.
      They have endured a fierce rivalry when it comes to footballers in recent years.
      A spokeswoman from estate agency Promora, which sells properties in both areas, told the Sun: “I cannot say where Greenwood will be living but it will most likely be between La Finca or La Morajela.
      “Either are like a footballer’s paradise because they are very green areas with wide avenues and with great 24-hour security.
      “They have everything they need with their own shops, supermarkets and cinemas etc, meaning they don’t ever have to leave.
      In 2016, French player Raphael Varane had his home in La Moraleja raided.
      The spokesman added: “It really depends on their lifestyle. If they have children for example, La Moraleja can be a preferred option because there are many top quality international colleges nearby.”
      MAD FOR IT
      One mansion in the Moraleja neighbourhood of Alcobendas even has a nuclear bunker.
      The H-shaped estate, which David Beckham visited during his stint at Real Madrid, has an 80 square metre bunker that is ‘totally sealed’ off, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, food supplies and a radio communication system, according to director of Promora Gonzalo Lopez-van Dam.
      While La Moraleja has a private security firm, some of its streets are still accessible to the public, increasing the risk of being photographed or robbed.
      Nevertheless, it still attracts huge stars, including Real Madrid’s Luka Modric, who lives in a €12million villa with his wife and three children.
      It now appears that Greenwood is determined to seize the chance to turn his career around in Spain.
      A source said: “He’s going on loan but remains a United player.“It means the club has an ongoing duty of care to him and they’ve pledged to help him make a success of his move to Spain.
      “The villa is big enough for friends and family to visit. They will get the opportunity to travel to see him as much as they can.
      “It’s important he has a solid support network around him. The last thing they want is Mason isolated.”
      It is understood United will pay more than half of his £75,000-a-week wages while he is in Spain.
      Another source said Greenwood is raring to go. They added: “He’s happy he’s got himself a club in LaLiga and can finally begin to put the last two years behind him.

      Last summer Man City striker Haaland eyed up the Hale Barns, Cheshire, property but decided to settle in Manchester city centre instead.
      Pogba, who plays for Juventus, listed the house for rent at £6,346-a-week.
      It boasts six bedrooms, an open-plan living area, landscaped garden, games room, gym and indoor football pitch.
      It has mini goals, an electronic scoreboard, LED lighting and even the footballer’s logo on the centre circle.

      It also has a gated entrance, after burglars broke in last year while Pogba’s children were asleep upstairs.
      He rushed home from a match at Old Trafford, saying it was his family’s “worst nightmare”.
      The footballer failed to sell it after a string of players have opted for city centre living.
      Jack Grealish, Ruben Dias, Julian Alvarez, and even City manager Pep Guardiola have all chosen the hustle and bustle of Manchester rather than leafy Cheshire.

      The World Cup winner, 29, has now put the gated property in Cheshire on the market – while also claiming up to £10million in unpaid wages from City for time he spent suspended from playing.
      He is being chased for an £800,000 tax debt by HMRC, who are seeking a bankruptcy order.
      His accountant has now told a court hearing Mendy was seeking “in the order of nine to 10million pounds gross” from the Premier League winners.
      Mendy’s home in Cheshire has been put on the market by estate agent Savills for £5million as the star attempts to claw back costs.

      Glimpses inside the home were previously made public while he was in the dock before being cleared of all charges.
      Drone footage was played at Chester Crown Court last August including aerial shots above Mendy’s home 17 miles south of central Manchester.
      Jurors were also shown a police bodycam “walk-through” inside.
      Footage featured the ground floor including a swimming pool, jacuzzi and cinema room – while the property also featured an indoor football pitch.

      Mendy has since made a comeback to football following his acquittal at Chester Crown Court last month.
      The France defender, on the bench when his country beat Croatia in the 2018 World Cup final, has signed for Lorient who play in Ligue 1.
      Mendy left Man City by mutual consent in June at the expiry of his contract – having not played for the Premier League and Champions League winners since 2021.
      The footballer wept after being cleared of rape and attempted rape on July 14.
      A jury acquitted him of attempting to rape a woman aged 29 as she showered at his home in October 2018.
      He was also found not guilty of raping a 24-year-old woman in a bedroom at his Cheshire home two years later.
      He celebrated his freedom that evening with pals by going out.
      And he turned up at the Pitts complex in Ardwick, Manchester, two days later for a kickabout with strangers.
      Mendy had last played for City against Tottenham Hotspur in August 2021 before being suspended by the club later that month when he was arrested.
