Lionel Messi’s £26million luxury hotel in Spain is set to be demolished after receiving a court order.
The seven times Ballon D’or winner bought the building, which has 77 rooms, for €30million (£26.01m), back in 2017.
The building is positioned close to the beach and seafront promenade of Sitges, 40km from Barcelona.
According to reports in Spain, Sitges Town Hall had already approved the building’s demolition before the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner had even purchased the building.
According to El Confidencial, as per the Mirror, the hotel’s balconies are too big and do not meet planning requirements.
On top of this, any attempts to make the balconies smaller could result in the collapse of the hotel in any case.
There are other issues with the building, with the building’s fire plan also failing to meet local standards.
