Jorge Mas, a co-owner of Inter Miami with Beckham, and their spouses, Elena Galera, Antonela Roccuzzo, Victoria Beckham, and Aleyda Mas (L-R), joined the soccer stars.

After leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Messi accepted a contract with Inter Miami, joining forces with David Beckham, the team’s owner. The seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or made his exit in grand fashion by scoring a signature free kick to secure a last-second Leagues Cup victory over Cruz Azul.

A few days later, he made his debut, scoring twice in the first half in an impressive 4-0 victory over Atlanta United. Following the celebration, Messi and franchise co-owner Beckham were spotted out on the town.

They dined in the lavish Miami restaurant Gekko. They were also joined by new signing Sergio Busquets, and his wife Elena Galera, as well as other co-owner Jorge Mas.

 

The Japanese-inspired Steakhouse is a popular spot for celebrities in the area, with Messi and Beckham dining with their wives Antonela and Victoria. Gekko specialises in East Asian cuisine, and is best known for its large offering of steaks.

Most notably one 42oz piece, named ‘A5 Bone in Ribeye, Kagoshima, Mizusako’ is priced at an eye-watering $1200 (£940) on the menu. Factor in some sides, and you’re looking at upwards of £1,000 for the top-range item.

 

The restaurant, based on 8 SE 8th Street in Miami, also offers an extensive range of sushi, cocktails and sharing platters. Inside, it features eye-catching, contemporary decor with Japanese inspiration as the backdrop for its customers.

Ahead of his MLS switch, Messi revealed the lifestyle out in The Sunshine State was a key factor in choosing Inter Miami. “After winning the World Cup and not being able to go to Barça, it was time to go to the United States League to live football differently,” he said.

“I want to take greater pleasure in each day. Of course, with the same accountability and motivation to always perform well and want to win. but with greater tranquility. And after having dinner at one of the best restaurants in the city, he has undoubtedly been having fun.

Many A-listers watched the match at theDRV PNK Stadium on Friday after Messi’s debut before going out to the Miami restaurant. At Gekko, guests included reality star Kim Kardashian and NBA free agent Tristan Thompson.

Last summer, the Japanese-inspired steakhouse opened its doors, with Spice Girls wife Victoria and Miami boss Beckham in present. Rapper Bad Bunny from Puerto Rico and hospitality tycoon David Grutman jointly own Gekko.
