Lionel Messi is set to marry his long-term girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo in 2017, according to sources close to the Barcelona star’s family.

The wedding is expected to be held in the Argentina international’s hometown of Rosario, where the pair first met when they were children through Messi’s close friend and Roccuzzo’s cousin Lucas Scaglia.

La Nacion reporter Juan Pablo Varsky broke the news during his radio show, saying the ceremony would take place next year, while a relative told La Capital: ‘It’s true, there’ll be a wedding the middle of next year.’
