Last summer, 34-year-old Argentine superstar Lionel Messi joined PSG on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona.
When he first arrived in magnificent Paris, Messi and his family spent a month at the 5-star Royal Monceau hotel. But now, the Copa America champion seems to have a new place to settle down. It is an extremely lavish castle, splendid as only for kings worth up to 41 million pounds.
This “pink palace” is where former French president Charles De Gaulle used to stay for 3 days during World War II in the 1940s.
In the last period of the transfer market, specifically on August 8, Messi held a tearful press conference announcing his farewell to Barcelona after 20 years of attachment. The Nou Camp home team is in financial crisis not being able to pay Messi’s salary, so he has to leave in the form of a free transfer to PSG.
In the early days at PSG, Messi, his wife and 3 sons stayed in the 5-star Royal Monceau hotel in the heart of Paris, France. The Royal Monceau website describes the hotel as “a modern and vibrantly designed masterpiece in the heart of the City of Lights”.
This hotel features a spa with a variety of expensive restorative treatments as well as luxurious living amenities. However, Messi does not want him and his family to stay in this hotel forever, as coach Jose Mourinho did when he stayed at the Lowry Hotel during his time in charge of Manchester United.

Antonela Roccuzzo, Messi’s wife is tasked with finding a stable new home for the family. And the childhood sweetheart of the superstar who won 5 world golden balls was given a list of mansions and castles to explore and choose from.
And Messi’s wife chose the castle as a historical monument of France. The castle has a huge value of 41 million pounds (about 1,288 billion VND) including an indoor swimming pool, a gym, many bedrooms for adults and children, a private car park, a cinema movie theater, a garden and many luxurious and classy amenities.
The castle’s amenities are similar to the former Barcelona residence of Messi and his family. The castle is located on 7,000 square meters of land built in 1899.

The castle is described as grandiose by Soyheby’s: “The wonderful Palais Rose is both calm and peaceful with utmost luxury, located just 20 minutes west of Paris by car.
Nestled in Le Vesinet’s beautiful Ibis Parc, this awe-inspiring Grand Trianon palace is listed as a historic site, providing the family with 2,000 square meters of entertaining space.
The castle includes the main villa with many rooms with 4 blocks, a movie theater, an entertainment room, an indoor swimming pool, a football field, and a gym. Another villa for employees and employees, a 500 m2 guest house including 4 suites, a garage… All are located in a 7,000 m2 lot and have beautiful landscape.”
