The private jet has his family name on the steps while having his famous jersey number, 10, on the tail. An Argentinean company manufactured the plane, and it also boasts a kitchen, two bathrooms, and around 16 seats for people to travel comfortably. Likewise, they can fold chairs and make them into beds. Although he travels in this jet from work to his homeland, he doesn’t own them but leases the aircraft.
All in all, he cherishes his new life in Miami. Likewise, his former teammate and Barcelona manager, Xavi, revealed how he wanted to move to the MLS rather than join Barcelona.

Xavi claims his ambitions to have a ‘quieter life’
According to Ge, Xavi mentioned, “We often don’t put ourselves in the other’s shoes, we lack empathy. Being Leo Messi is not easy. He never has peace of mind and has to be a “ten” in everything. He doesn’t want that kind of pressure anymore. It’s normal.” As he said, being a World Cup winner is never easy. By being the best player in the world, the camera follows you everywhere. In Miami, though, privacy is much better than in other countries.
Xavi continued, “He has been wanting to lower the pressure and tension level. He wants a quieter life – said the coach of Barcelona.” Right now, he loves his life. Wanting to win trophies with Inter Miami, Messi looks rejuvenated after his disappointing time at PSG. Can he win a trophy with the MLS club?
