The report added that Lionel Messi was not aware that the property was already booked for demolition when he bought it in 2017 and spent huge amount on the hotel.

The hotel's balconies are believed to be too big, but the building could even collapse if they are downsized or torn down.

Not only that, but the fire emergency plan reportedly also failed to meet the authorities' standards.

What next for Lionel Messi to do?

The Paris Saint-Germain star is expected to send his representatives to appeal the court's order and deliberate on what can be done for the footballer not to lose the property.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has been struggling this season in France and the Argentine has scored only one goal for Paris Saint-Germain in the League.
