Lionel Messi, captain of Inter Miami CF and the Argentine national team, has reportedly acquired Spanish side UE Cornell\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Argentine superstar is said to have finalized an agreement granting him complete ownership of the third-tier outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, the eight-time Ballon d\u2019Or recipient now assumes full control of the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, Cornell\u00e0 occupy third place in their Tercera Divisi\u00f3n group, trailing leaders CE Manresa by five points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having already secured a playoff berth, the team is pushing for promotion to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Messi\u2019s move mirrors that of his long-time rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who earlier this year invested in Spanish club UD Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
