Lionel Messi has purchased a football club in Spain.
Details: Insider Fabrizio Romano reports that Messi is now the full owner of the Spanish club Cornellà, which plays in the third division.
The Argentine star has acquired 100% of the shares of this Catalan club. This move is particularly symbolic because Cornellà is close to Barcelona, the city where Messi spent many successful years.

This acquisition parallels Cristiano Ronaldo‘s recent buy of Almería. Their legendary rivalry now extends beyond the field, as they both take on new challenges in club ownership and management.
Reminder: It was recently revealed by Ronaldo’s coach that the star vomited after a Saudi Pro League match.
