Messi considers legal action over media coverage of his father’s funeral
Argentina and Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is reportedly preparing to take legal action against several journalists and media outlets over coverage of his father Jorge Messi’s funeral.
According to Argentine journalist Fran Casarieto, Messi is considering legal measures after media organizations allegedly photographed and reported on the private funeral despite the family’s decision to keep the ceremony closed to the press.
Jorge Messi, who died at the age of 68, played an important role in his son’s football career and managed many aspects of the player’s professional affairs for years.
The funeral was held privately in Rosario, Argentina, with close family members in attendance. Messi returned to his hometown to pay tribute to his father while seeking to keep the family’s mourning away from public attention.
The reported legal action highlights Messi’s concerns over protecting his family’s privacy during a particularly difficult period. It also reflects the broader challenges faced by high-profile athletes when private family events attract intense media interest.
