As many soccer stars, Lionel Messi bought an impressive private jet to move to whatever part of the world he wants to without having to be in contact with other people or to be uncomfortable. The Argentine idol made the purchase on 2018, the year in which he used it for the first time to travel for Christmas.

The jet is the one with which he usually travels from Barcelona to Argentina, every time he has to play with his national team. The model is a Gulfstream V, one of the most expensive one of the international brand. It has Rolls-Royce motors and it can travel up to 900 km/h with an autonomy of 10,000 kilometers.

Of course, the vehicle is looked with some details about Messi: a number 10 and the names of Thiago, Mateo and Ciro, his sons, in the stairs to get into it. Inside it was an incredible comfort, as it counts with space for 16 persons that could travel in their seat or eight that could travel in a bed. As well, it counts on two kitchens and two bathrooms.

There are just a few private jets more expensive than the one from Messi among athletes. The richest one is the property of golf legend Tiger Woods. The Gulfstream of Messi costs up to $15 million and is one of the greatest values that the idol has, considering that he is not a big fan of high-end cars or luxuries.

The uncertain future of Messi

The legend and his impressive private jet could definitively move to Paris, as Messi knows that PSG wants to incorporate him during the next transfer window. The contract of the historical no. 10 with FC Barcelona will end on June and that is when the Parisian side is thinking on making the move and try to sign one of the greatest players of all-time.
