“I was overpriced for the house I wanted,” Ross said during a recent live broadcast. “I really wanted to buy a house in Miami. So now I have to build my own house because it’s impossible to find a house I like. And I was outbid by a very, very famous professional athlete who is very rich of.”

He initially did not name the person. “I want to show you the real house,” the anchor continued, “but I feel like it’s leaking and I can’t. But I can maybe show you a picture. No, I won’t do that in a few months, maybe I can do it. But to be honest, I outbid others.”

He later clarified: “It had nothing to do with my injury. I just didn’t get there in time. I saw the house but they were already negotiating and that’s it, so…”

Ross then gave in. “The professional athlete is Messi,” he said. “I believe it was Messi’s parents. I think it was his grandparents, or I don’t know who the fuck he was. Messi, they wanted a crib where their grandchildren could come over and fuck whenever they wanted. “They’re playing a game – I don’t even know it, but they get it. “

“It made absolutely no sense to me. There was a cinema there and a lot of cool stuff. That’s what I was told. It was Messi’s crib. I didn’t understand how Messi could outbid me. “”

The Inter Miami captain has been house hunting in Miami since signing with the MLS club this summer. He and his family previously lived in three luxury apartments in the area they already owned.

Messi and wife Antonella Roccuzzo were later spotted visiting a house in Boca Raton on the Intracoastal Waterway. They also looked at Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale before settling on Bayside Colony in the latter.

The Real Deal reported in September that they purchased an eight-bedroom, 10,500-square-foot property in a gated community on 0.4 acres. The property faces 170 feet of water and features a luxury swimming pool. The pad also houses a gym and spa.

There are nine and a half bathrooms available, and the couple’s master bedroom measures 1,600 square feet. Its garage can accommodate three cars. The location is also convenient for the World Cup winner, being just five minutes away from Inter Miami’s home DRV PNK Stadium.
