Lionel Messi is one of the greatest players to have ever graced a football pitch, but Spanish architect Luis de Garrido took it upon himself to propose that Messi should literally live in a football.
This bonkers design has not been commissioned by Messi and doesn’t seem like it will ever be made, but you’d definitely be curious to see the real thing.
The property would be designed like a football, divided by a hexagonal pattern. Half of the roof would be covered in grass, whilst the other half of mirrored glass would allow sunlight in. With the ground divided between more grass and a swimming pool, the bird’s eye view also shows a terrace which would complete a cool figure of the number 10, Messi’s shirt number.
Although Messi is not exactly one for media attention, his ridiculous taste in suits worn to past Ballon d’Or ceremonies suggests that the Barcelona star has it in him to do something a tad crazy, such as live in this monstrosity.
9. John Terry
Chelsea captain John Terryrecently sold his Surrey mansion to the Sultan of Oman after an aide reportedly waltzed in and made an offer Terry couldn’t refuse – £16m to be exact.
Although the nine bedroom home offered plenty of space and enough secrecy for fumbles with his mates’ wives, Terry has calmed down from his ludicrous behaviour in recent years.
After investing a cool £4m, JT’s ex-pad came complete with a fishing lake, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room. The former England captain ended up making a tidy £10m profit on his dream house.
