      Who are Lionel Messi’s parents?
      Lionel Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina, to Jorge and Celia.
      Growing up, Jorge worked as a factory worker while Celia worked at a magnet manufacturing workshop.
      Now, Celia often stays out of the spotlight, while her husband works on growing and running their son’s career.
      When did Jorge Messi become Lionel’s agent?
      Lionel’s parents always knew their son was special, which is why Jorge took an early interest in managing his career.
      Read More on Lionel
      Since the early 2000s, Jorge has served as Lionel’s agent. He is often the go-to guy when it comes to Lionel’s career and business decisions.
      “He tries to do everything for his son. He has not learned how to step back and move aside and let other people work in a more professional way,” a source told The Athletic.
      “They are a good family, they love each other, but they do not seem to be particularly good at building relationships with people who can help them.”
      Jorge runs things remotely from Rosario and has an office in central Barcelona, with a receptionist, a German financial controller, private banker Alfonso Nebot, who takes care of his investments, and a former Barcelona employee Pau Negre, responsible for his international commercial work.

      Jorge and Celia are also the parents of Lionel’s older brothers, Rodrigo and Matias, and his younger sister, Maria Sol.
      While the Messi kids might have a high-profile brother, they often stay out of the spotlight as much as possible. More
