Barcelona star Lionel Messi has reportedly called on designers to create a football-shaped house for him.

The Argentina international is said to be keen on having the property built in the Llavaneres Sant Andreu municipality, which is north of Barcelona, Spain.

Architect Luis de Garrido has designed the ball-shaped house to be situated at the centre of a garden, created like a football pitch, according to 101greatgoals.com.

Meanwhile, Messi and his father Jorge recently denied allegations of tax fraud during a hearing.
