Football star friends Cesc Fabregas and Luis Suarez are with Lionel Messi as they unwind on a yacht in Ibiza

LIONEL MESSI, Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas jetted off to Ibiza for the footy pals’ annual holiday.

In recent summers, it has become common to see the celebrity three lazing in the Mediterranean sun.

The three athletes and their families vacationed in Ibiza in 2017, and then in 2019 and 2018 they took a boat off the Balearic island resort. Messi, 36, travelled to the island after a short layover in Barcelona with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo, boys Thiago, 8, Mateo, 5, and Ciro, 3.

Following the Argentina star’s Copa America victory, the family spent early this month on vacation in Miami and the Dominican Republic. Suarez, 34, his girlfriend Sofia Balbi, 31, and their children Delfina, Benjamin, and Lauti are traveling with them to Ibiza. Cesc Fabregas, 34, his wife Daniella Semaan, 46, and their kids Lia, Capri, and Leonardo round up the jet set.

On their boat, the three families and their guests sweltered in the Ibiza heat while periodically jumping into the water to play with various toys. The Inspiration boat they are renting, according to the Mail, costs an astounding £65,000 per week.

The boat has a huge sun pad, lounge dinette, eating area, sports flybridge, and many solariums. It accommodates eight people in four rooms. Before the Spanish player’s 2014 transfer to Chelsea, Messi and Fabregas spent three years together at Barcelona. Suarez joined the Catalans that year and became close friends with another South American at that time.
