LIONEL MESSI is already settling into life in Miami – by going food shopping with his family.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has inked a multi-million-pound deal with the David-Beckham-owned MLS franchise and is set to be officially unveiled in the coming days.
Messi and his family have already upped sticks from Paris to Miami – and normal life has seemingly resumed for them.
The Barcelona icon, 36, was spotted at a Publix supermarket doing a spot of food shopping with his wife Antonella and sons Thiago, Mateo and Ciro.
The Messi family were all smiles as they strolled through the aisles and popped items into their trolley.
Two jumbo-size cereal boxes were spotted in his trolley, including what looked to be a box of Lucky Charms.
