While Messi’s debut for David Beckham’s soccer franchise is just around the corner, the playmaker is exploring the new city. The striker and his family are looking to adjust to the new life. Interestingly, he was shopping like a common man in one of the biggest supermarket chains in Florida.

Alexis Ohanian wanted to find the next Lionel Messi

Earlier, Ohanian made a significant investment in a social media platform that is specifically made for soccer, Gloria. The app aims to scout upcoming men’s and women’s soccer players. Back in 2019, following his $3 million investment in the company, the Reddit owner made a huge claim.

He said, “If a startup needs me to wear a tux, I’ll gladly do it. This is a good gig. Gloria is gonna help us discover the next Messi or Rapinoe anywhere in the world – and all they need is talent & access to a smartphone.” While the app is running well and it may have also paid him his money back. However, he is yet to find the next Messi. We hope his search will end soon.
