    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Mason Mount was determined to succeed John Terry at Chelsea after his dad told him to leave but now wants Man Utd switch

    MASON MOUNT was determined to become a Chelsea legend like John Terry when he was a teenager, but now he is seeking a new challenge.It was 2014 and Mount, one of the most sought after 15-year-olds in the country, had to choose between a scholarship with the Blues and a raft of tempting offers to leave.

    Uncles, aunts and grandparents offered advice to the talented teenager after dad Tony called a family meeting at their Portsmouth home.
    “I told Mason I thought he needed to move on to get the best opportunity,” Tony told SunSport.
    “I said, ‘No one at Chelsea’s academy has got into the first-team since John Terry — what chance have you got?’
    “Mason shot back, ‘I’ll be the next one.’ He said, ‘I’m not leaving Chelsea, it’s my club. I’ve been here since the age of six and I’m going all the way.’”
    Nine years on and Mason — so named by his mum as it means ‘man of stone’ — fulfilled that promise, having made himself a regular for the Blues, winning the Champions League for his club and starring for England at the Euros and the World Cup.
    MOST READ IN FOOTBALL
    Sat in the garden of his Waterlooville home, Tony flicks through photographs on his iPhone which highlight his son’s rise.
    The snaps show him signing for Chelsea aged eight, bonding with best mate Declan Rice, representing England Under-21s and winning the 2018 player of the year at Vitesse Arnhem in Holland while on loan.
    But a photograph of a two-year-old Mason in the arms of his dad, who was a non-League manager in 2001, shows where his footballing education began.

    Mount, aged two, would watch his dad’s non-League side Havant Town

    Tony, then boss of Havant Town, said: “I’m old-school and Mason has sat in dressing rooms with me kicking cups and doors while we’re 3-0 down at Kettering, and the language has been blue.”
    In 2004, Tony took a five-year old Mason to a club in Farnham for his first experience of playing on grass.
    “They started age six and Mason was five,” the father-of-four said. “I took him over there and they said, ‘He’s a bit small. Is he six?’ I said, ‘Yeah!’
    “Within two sessions he was playing with the Under-8s and dribbling round all of them.”
    Chelsea quickly spotted his talent. Mason was training with the Blues as well as the club his family raised him to support, Portsmouth.
    SAINT TO WINNER
    So when a friend invited them to rivals Southampton, so coaches could assess their trialists against a Chelsea player, the future starlet was hesitant.
    Tony said: “We were driving there and Mase said, ‘I won’t have to wear that shirt will I?!’ It’s embedded in him. I said he’d just have a bib on.
    “They split the boys into four teams and took them away to get changed. The first team came out wearing black, another in blue and then another in yellow.
    “I’m looking for Mason and thinking, ‘Please don’t come out in red and white! PLEASE don’t come out in red and white!’ And he’s come out in this red and white kit with a face like thunder.
    “He’s going ‘Dad! Dad!’ and pointing at the shirt. He played like a man possessed that night because he was so unhappy about this kit. He scored 14 goals.”

    Despite attempts by Saints and Pompey to sign Mount, it was too late. He’d fallen in love with Chelsea.
    He signed with the Blues aged eight and met fellow England international Rice at their Cobham academy. The duo quickly became inseparable.
    Tony, now a partner in an electronics manufacturer, said: “When Declan got released aged 14, we were all devastated. [Mason’s mum] Debbie was in tears and Mason was gobsmacked.
    “One minute you’re there and had been with Declan since the age of seven, travelling across Europe with the family and holidaying together, and all of a sudden he’s gone.
    “Declan is very strong mentally and got what he deserved at West Ham.”
    RAM RAID
    It was at the academy that Mason first met Jody Morris, Lampard’s assistant at Derby and then Chelsea.
    Former midfielder Morris was manager of the youth team when Mason stepped up. He thrived off Morris’ old-school approach and was appointed captain.
    Tony said: “I asked Mason about Jody and he said, ‘Dad, he’s very good. He’s a tough taskmaster, I love him and if I do something well he wants me to do it better.’”
    So when Morris called in 2018 to say Lampard wanted to meet, he jumped at the invite.
    Mount signed a five-year deal at Chelsea last summerCredit: PA:Press Association
    Mount signed a five-year deal at Chelsea in 2019. Both father and son travelled up to a London hotel and listened to Lampard’s pitch about going to Derby.
    “Talk about inspired! I wanted to play for Frank after that,” Tony said, laughing.
    “Frank was brilliant, explaining what he could give Mason. He knew him inside-out, was talking about games he’d watched Mason play.
    “We spoke to Steven Gerrard about going to Rangers, too, and he was similar: ‘I’ve watched Mason, know him and want him to come on a journey with me.’
    “Frank said the same: ‘Come with me and be my player, you’ve got everything I love.’
    “I said to Mason, ‘Don’t rush into it, we’ve got to think about it. I like Werder Bremen, and Norwich was a good meeting.’ He said, ‘No, Dad. I’m going to Derby. I want to work for Frank Lampard.’”
    Mount scored nine goals and got four assists at Pride Park, where he formed a strong bond with the Chelsea legend.
    And Mount asserted himself on the Blues’ first team after being handed his opportunity by his mentor Lampard and he went on to succeed under the management Thomas Tuchel, winning the Champions League.
    However, the 2022-23 campaign wasn’t so successful.
    Chelsea ended the season 12th in the Premier League table and without any silverware.
    And new Mount is on the verge of leaving Stamford Bridge.
    Man Utd have been pushing to sign the midfielder this summer, but they have seen three bids – with the latest totalling £55million – rejected.
    The Red Devils are now threatening to walk away from the deal entirely. More

    The Blues will pay Villarreal £30million for the 6ft2in forward, who should offer plenty of goals.
    He was handed his professional debut by Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, when the Spaniard coached the La Liga club.
    While in Africa, his sudden rise has seen him called the ‘Next Neymar’ for the skills he has at his disposal.
    However, he could have been on our shores as early as January.

    Bournemouth had agreed a deal, for the move only to fall through at the final hour.
    Rapid rise
    As a youth, Jackson played for Senegalese team Casa Sports.
    He had one season with the top flight side, before Villarreal snapped him up in 2019 and the attacker began training with their U19 team.
    An initial struggle, it was believed the youngster would benefit from first team football
    Most read in Football
    Jackson spent the 2020-21 season on loan at second division Mirandes, scoring his first professional goal against against CD Castellón in a 1-1 draw a month after his arrival.
    It was his only goal of the campaign, one in which he played 16 times.
    Seeing he was beginning to settle in, Villarreal moved Jackson to their reserve team, where he became the main man scoring seven goals to help the team achieve promotion to the second tier.
    In 2021, he was handed his La Liga debut by Unai Emery who knew he had a talent on his hands.
    “He is a player who is in the process of growing.There are times when some players have to go elsewhere to grow, but we are betting on him because his contribution is very high,” Emery said at the beginning of last season.
    “He must get experience in front of goal and this is a learning process. We need to establish young players and we want to bet on them.”

    And he didn’t disappoint…
    The 2022-23 season was Jackson’s breakout year.
    After forcing his way into the first team, he contributed a staggering 18 La Liga goal contributions.
    Following an injury in March, he returned in April and May to score nine goals across two months.
    A combination of quick feet, impressive dribbling skills and an eye for goal made him an impressive commodity.
    It also led to plenty of comparisons in his playing style.
    He was labelled the ‘Next Neymar’. Others said he was similar to Sadio Mane. Both superstars of the game. Both you would be happy to named alongside.
    Senegal boss Aliou Cisse called Jackson up to his squad for two friendlies – just two months before the World Cup.

    Impressed, he selected him as a wildcard for Qatar, where he made his full international debut in the defeat to Netherlands in their opener.
    Premier League could have come sooner
    After the World Cup, and before he exploded into life in La Liga, Jackson was almost a Bournemouth player.
    The South Coast club had settled on a £22.5million deal, with a contract all agreed upon.
    But, the move would collapse at the last-minute.
    According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the move was shelved after Jackson failed a medical.
    Doctors determined he would be out of action until March 10 with a hamstring injury – not the expected February 10 return date.
    With Bournemouth fighting for their safety, the Cherries didn’t want to take that gamble going into the final months of the season.

    Jackson ended the season on fire, with nine league goals in eight matches as Quique Setien’s Villarreal secured a Europa League spot.

    Inside Wanda Nara and Mauro Icardi’s on-off love story, from sex 12 times a day to breaking up before happy reunion

    WANDA Nara and Mauro Icardi’s marriage has had more twists than a South American soap opera.The footballer, 30, and his super agent Wag, 36, are seemingly happier than ever, but it’s been a turbulent few years.
    Wanda Nara’s on-off romance to Mauro Icardi has dominated the gossip pagesCredit: Instagram @wandanara
    Nara shows off a new sparkler as their romance appears very much back on
    They appeared to be finished for good, when the blonde beauty announced their separation in December, following a make-or-break holiday in the Maldives.
    The pair also began seeing other people, with Wanda hooking up with a rapper and Mauro cosying up to a stunning Turkish actress.
    But their relationship is now stronger than ever, with Wanda showing off a new ruby and diamond ring and the Argentinian striker leaning into to her for a kiss.
    Their romance began in controversial style…

    Backstabbing
    Before she got together Mauro, Wanda was married to former Sampdoria star Maxi Lopez.
    Icardi arrived at the Serie A club in 2011, where he was warmly welcomed by his fellow countryman and his wife.
    They went on family holidays and struck up a firm friendship, however by 2013 Lopez and Wanda’s marriage hit the rocks.
    Soon after, Icardi and Wanda were an item, with rumours alleging that they were having an affair behind Lopez’s back.

    But Mauro denied the accusation. “I was a friend of the couple, an acquaintance, and it was all very normal,” he said.
    “After that, Wanda split up and we kept in contact, and it just happened.”
    Wanda sung from the same hymn sheet.
    “After the divorce, I had gone back to live in Argentina and already had the kids registered for the new school year,” she said.
    “I had to come back to Milan to finalise some paperwork and he offered to lend me his car, leaving me the keys to his house, too.
    “He asked if I wanted to have dinner with him, but the fridge was empty. I knocked up some pasta and the rest just happened spontaneously.”

    Nara was accused of cheating on Lopez with Icardi
    Getting steamy
    A physical attraction clearly pulls these two together.
    After complaining that she was sexually starved by Lopez during their marriage, Wanda has been very open about her love life with Icardi.
    She boasted about her prowess between the bed sheets in 2021 with a Valentine’s Day message about how she likes to look after her man.
    She wrote: “Saint Valentine is….cooking for your love every day, waiting for him with the best steak sandwich prepared by me at 3am after a match…or simply going down to the kitchen in the early hours and preparing the best sandwiches in the world with chicken and avocado…making your favourite deserts in the afternoon…and being the best in bed.”
    Former Italy defender Daniele Adani also dished the dirt on a rumour he heard that Icardi and Nara have sex up to 12-times-a-day on Christian Vieri’s Twitch channel.
    While, when she was bashed by trolls online she said she performs oral sex on Icardi every night.
    On social media they often post steamy and intimate photos together.

    Infidelity
    In 2021, the wheels appeared to come off when Wanda went on a rant about an alleged infidelity in their marriage.
    The buxom beauty angrily tweeted: ‘Another family that you have ruined for a s***”, she began.
    She then unfollowed Icardi on Twitter, before admitting she had split from him to a friend over a cheating storm.
    Wanda’s “I’ve separated” message went viral after it was shared by Argentine showbiz journalist Ker Weinstein, who is reportedly ‘close’ to her.
    Ker published the note which was reportedly sent to her privately by Paris-based Wanda and wrote alongside it: “‘Bomb’. Mauro and Wanda separated. A real shame. I hope they patch things up. There’s a woman who’s the third party in discordance. I’m in shock.”
    Wanda also appeared to confirm she blames actress Maria Eugenia Suarez for trying to snatch Icardi from her, with the two allegedly texting one another.
    Suarez has been widely identified as the “third party in discordance” in Argentine media, however the model herself denies the claims, saying: “I have no idea where all this came from. Whoever it may be. I don’t even know them. I myself have just separated.”

    Breaking up and moving on
    Last year, with trouble in paradise, the pair announced a (what appeared to be) a final break up.
    The previous year trying to patch up their differences, including a luxurious holiday in the Maldives, wasn’t enough to save their marriage.
    Back in October, Wanda was spotted getting very intimate with toyboy pop star L-Gante, also from Argentina in a music video.
    Mauro was furious. He called her a “laughing stock”.
    It was released after she was seen kissing the rapper in a bowling alley, sparking rumours they were together.
    Mauro, himself, was keen to move on. On loan at Galatasaray, he met stunning Turkish actress Devrim Ozkan and they were believed to have began courting.
    She was spied at several Galatasaray matches, while she also posed for a picture with ex-Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira on a night out.
    It was seemingly the nail in the coffin of ‘Wandauro’.
    But wait…

    MATILDE
    Back in December 2020, Jose’s ambitious offspring launched her own jewellery brand.
    What made it different from its competitors was her promise to make pieces from sustainable materials.
    Her passion for jewellery began in 2018, when she was gifted a gold bracelet for her 18th birthday by her parents.
    “I was so excited. It was my first piece of proper jewellery,” she told the Daily Mail.

    She uses lab-grown diamonds because they “have the least impact on the environment.”
    Matilde studied her craft at the London College of Fashion before doing an MA in Entrepreneurship: Fashion and Creative Industries at Conde Nast College of Fashion and Design.
    It was on a shopping trip with her mum she learned that diamonds can be lab-grown.
    She said: “We walked into a shop where a jewellery brand was doing a pop-up. The founder came up and said: ‘Did you know all our jewellery uses lab-grown diamonds?’ I was like, ‘What?’ I was intrigued.

    “My mum was born in Angola, which is where a lot of the horrible impact from blood diamonds took place. She was always vocal about it. She thought it was amazing that lab-grown diamonds existed.”
    Matilde launched her own pop-up shop in the heart of London’s Soho that’s opened for three months in in 2022.
    Inside, there were pieces for men and women costing up to £1,850.
    Celebrity fans include actress Naomi Scott and film producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas.
    While dad Jose has worn a bracelet and ring made by his daughter at training with Roma.
    Stormzy modelled some pieces for his latest music video, Mel Made Me Do It.
    Jose Sr shared images behind the scenes on his Instagram about his cameo.
    He captioned the image: “Was great fun doing this cameo for Stormzy’s new music video out today. I had a great time and it’s great to see him wearing @matilde.jewellery”
    JOSE JR
    Although he’s currently without a club, Mourinho’s son Jose Jr is an able goalkeeper.
    For three years he was on Fulham’s books before he was released in 2017.
    Now 23, he is considering a move into coaching.
    And, if his dad is to be believed, he could become a better coach than him.
    Back in 2018, the youngster was sat on the bench alongside his dad when Manchester United took on Swansea.
    For his work experience, he then delivered a tactical analysis of what was wrong with his father’s side.
    Jose revealed: “In a period of a few bad results one day, he comes up with some analysis on my team — obviously suffering because Dad wasn’t doing well.
    “We had lost to Watford and Manchester City, I think, and he came with the stats of the team. I showed them to my assistants and I told them, ‘Be careful as one day this boy will take one of your places’.

    “But in fact I compare him with me at his age, where I would try to do the same sort of things for my dad — of course with different technology methods, but analysis from a kid aged 16 then.”
