Lionel Messi is preparing to take legal action against several journalists and media outlets for what he described as a violation of his privacy during his father Jorge Messi's funeral.
According to Argentine journalist Fran Casarito, Messi decided to pursue legal action because media outlets covered and filmed the funeral, despite it being a private ceremony closed to the press.
The funeral of Jorge Messi, father of the Argentine national team captain and Inter Miami star, took place on Sunday in a private family setting, away from media coverage.
Jorge Messi passed away last Saturday at the age of 68 after a long battle with a serious illness.
The Argentine star's father played a pivotal role in his career, managing his professional affairs and overseeing his football journey for many years.
Messi's legal move comes at a difficult time for him, as he returned to his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, to bid farewell to his father, with his family clearly keen to keep the ceremony private.
This move indicates Messi's desire to protect his family's privacy, especially in light of the circulation of photos and information from the funeral ceremony, which was held away from the spotlight.
