A real estate investment company owned by it entered the Spanish stock market with EUR 57.4 per share, with a capitalisation of EUR 223 million. Lionel Messi is referred to as chairman of the board of the ‘Edificio Rostower Socimi’ in documents published by the Portfolio Exchange, a small European alternative market. CORVERSE The sole shareholder of “Edificio Rostower” is Messi’s family investment “vehicle”, Limecu Espana 2010, reports the documents. However, as he told Reuters, Portfolio Stock Exchange CEO Santiago Navarro will open up to new investors. The stock market, supervised by the Bank of Spain, allows transactions only when a company seeks to sell shares or raise its capital, Navarro said. The approach allows for greater flexibility and control, as well as lower costs compared to traditional initial public offerings, he said, adding that any purchase request order should first be approved by shareholders. CORVERSE The company has seven hotels in Spain and Andorra, three office spaces and five apartments in Spain, as well as apartments in London and Paris, reports the documents. The company, founded in 2013, damaged 1.7m euros in 2023, according to data published. Most of the company’s investments are in the Spanish region of Catalonia, where Messi, 37, moved in 2000 when he was 13 years old to join the Barcelona Academies. He lived there until 2021, when he left to sign in Paris Saint Germaine, after the billed Catalan club said he did not have the luxury to hold him due to La Liga’s rules of financial Fair play. The eight-time winner of the “Golden Ball” has long stated that he plans to return to Barcelona with his wife and three children after retiring from football. Messi’s wife, Antonela Rokucho, is the vice president of the board.
