Argentina World Cup winner and Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has acquired the Spanish football club Unió Esportiva Cornellà. The Catalonia-based club announced the acquisition on Thursday, April 16.
The acquisition sees Messi become the owner of the fifth-tier team. UE Cornella is a tiny lower-division club based just outside Barcelona.
The location of the club is in the same city where the Argentine star previously played and made his name with his former club, Barcelona.
