He might well be the subject of the odd bullsh*t transfer story once in a while, but very few of would bet on Lionel Messi ever leaving Barcelona.

This week, the Argentine has given another pretty big clue that he has no intention of leaving Catalunya any time soon, unveiling plans for a his own restaurant right in the heart of Barcelona.

Situated in the city’s Calle Enric Granados district, the restaurant will open in summer and will boast a number of interesting features.

Designed to resemble a local town, the restaurant will feature a cinema, a barber’s shop, a church and even its very own town square.
