Superstar footballer, Lionel Messi has splashed a whopping £3million to build a mansion dubbed ‘The Fortress’ in his home city of Rosario in Argentina.

The monster property, built on three adjoining plots of land in a gated private estate on the outskirts of the footballer’s home city of Rosario, has a huge cinema, gym, and underground garage with enough space for 15 cars, according to Argentinian media.

‘This is the house in Funes near Rosario where Messi did his quarantine that nobody has ever seen.

‘He stayed in the house for the first time when he came back to Argentina from Paris for Christmas.

‘It’s in the wealthiest part of Rosario in a neighbourhood called Kentucky. They call it The Fortress and you can see why when you take a look at the pictures of it.
