Expensive wheels! Lionel Messi bike worth €15,000 to hit the market as Barcelona legend & Inter Miami superstar helps to create personalised product from his other sporting passion

The Argentine superstar has become an all-time great in his chosen profession, with Champions League titles, a World Cup crown and eight Ballons d’Or forming part of his historic trophy collection. He is said to have completed football, although more success is being pursued in MLS.

While kicking a ball around has allowed Messi to become a global superstar, he has always been a big fan of cycling. Back in 2015, the South American GOAT was gifted a Team Sky Pinarello Dogma F8 bike and team jersey sporting his name, jersey number and flag of his nation by current INEOS and Manchester United director Sir Dave Brailsford.

According to Relevo, Messi is now preparing to put his own set of wheels on the market. It is claimed that 2025 will see the 37-year-old, in collaboration with a world-class cyclist, deliver a personalised bike that will come with a price tag of between €10,000 and €15,000.

Messi is not the only figure in the world of football to have an interest in cycling. His international coach, Lionel Scaloni has spoken of how “wonderful” the sport is, while the likes of David Silva, Eden Hazard and Fabio Cannavaro are all big fans.
