According to Ole, the 39-year-old Lionel Messi continues to amaze the world with his playing ability, but he has also begun paving the way for his business empire after retirement. Last Thursday, Spanish club Eldense officially confirmed that Messi has become a majority shareholder of the club, underscoring his commitment to the football business world. Messi's current investment portfolio spans five clubs across Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, and the United States.

Eldense (Spain)

Rumors began circulating in early August that Messi had reached a preliminary agreement to become majority shareholder of Segunda División club Eldense, which was officially confirmed by the club last Thursday. The club currently has approximately 3,500 members in a town with a population of just over 55,000. The club's home stadium is Estadio Nuevo Pepico Amat, which can accommodate around 5,800 spectators.

Cornellà (Spain)

In April of this year, Messi acquired a stake in another Spanish club, Cornellà. Unlike Eldense, which is a professional club, this Catalan team currently competes in Spain's fifth tier, Tercera Federación. The club's home stadium has a capacity of 1,500 seats, and is located in Cornellà de Llobregat, approximately 12 kilometers from Barcelona.

LSM Sports (Uruguay)

This club was founded in 2018 at the suggestion of Luis Suárez, originally under the name LS Sports. In May 2025, Messi, Suárez's close friend and former teammate, joined as a partner. Since then, the team, which plays in Uruguay's first division, added the first letter of Messi's surname and changed its name to LSM Sports. However, the Argentine superstar has not been involved in management decisions, providing only promotional and marketing support.

Rosario Leones (Argentina)

This club was founded by the Messi family in 2015 and is currently presided over by his brother Matías. Starting in 2026, Leones began competing in Argentina's Primera División. Messi has publicly stated multiple times that he follows the team from afar and has attended matches in person.

Inter Miami (United States)

Messi's arrival at Inter Miami in 2023 completely transformed the landscape of American football. Years later, Messi has won three championships, becoming a true symbol of the club. However, his plans in Miami extend even further. As part of the agreement that attracted him to join, his contract includes a clause allowing him to purchase shares and become a co-owner of the club after retirement. For now, number 10 is deeply involved in the team's projects, and at Inter Miami's new home, Stadio Inter Miami CF, a section has been named in his honor.
