The 37-year-old Inter Miami superstar, who has amassed a glittering career full of Champions League titles, World Cup glory, and eight Ballon d’Or awards, has long been an enthusiast of life on two wheels.
While Messi’s footballing achievements have cemented his place as a global icon, his love for cycling has also been well-documented over the years.
In 2015, the Argentine legend received a special Team Sky Pinarello Dogma F8 bike from Sir Dave Brailsford, the director of INEOS and Manchester United, who also gifted Messi a team jersey adorned with his name, number, and the Argentine flag.
According to reports from Relevo, Messi is now collaborating with a world-class cyclist to create a personalized bike that will hit the market in 2025.
The bike, which will carry a premium price tag between €10,000 and €15,000, is a reflection of Messi’s deep passion for the sport beyond the football pitch.
Cycling is not just a personal hobby for Messi; it has become a shared interest among other footballing figures.
Argentina’s national coach, Lionel Scaloni, has previously praised cycling, calling it “wonderful,” while football stars such as David Silva, Eden Hazard, and Fabio Cannavaro have also expressed their love for the sport.
