In the picture, fans can see him donning the Inter Miami kit and the famous Beats headphones. He recently gifted his teammates these headphones, and they looked delighted. Bonding is necessary for the team to gel and develop team chemistry. Therefore, having a luxury aircraft with him makes it refreshing to see him travel with his band of brothers. Talking about his jet, he travels in his $15.3 million jet with unique features. Most soccer players travel in private jets, and Cristiano Ronaldo is another name on the list.

The private jet has his family name on the steps while having his famous jersey number, 10, on the tail. An Argentinean company manufactured the plane, and it also boasts a kitchen, two bathrooms, and around 16 seats for people to travel comfortably. Likewise, they can fold chairs and make them into beds. Although he travels in this jet from work to his homeland, he doesn’t own them but leases the aircraft.

Xavi claims his ambitions to have a ‘quieter life’

According to Ge, Xavi mentioned, “We often don’t put ourselves in the other’s shoes, we lack empathy. Being Leo Messi is not easy. He never has peace of mind and has to be a “ten” in everything. He doesn’t want that kind of pressure anymore. It’s normal.” As he said, being a World Cup winner is never easy. By being the best player in the world, the camera follows you everywhere. In Miami, though, privacy is much better than in other countries.
