Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela stuns in micro bikini as she sits on edge of yacht on holiday in Dominican Republic

LIONEL Messi’s teenage sweetheart wowed fans with a smile and a micro bikini in a stunning picture postcard of their dream Caribbean holiday.

Mum-of-three Antonela Roccuzzo set pulses racing with a daring pose on a yacht overlooking the turquoise sea of the Dominican Republic where she has been enjoying some R&R with the Barcelona star and their children.

They moved on to the paradise island from Miami where they rented a luxury mansion and met up with the footballer’s family after Argentina’s historic Copa America triumph.

The star couple have been treating their Instagram followers to glimpses of their sunshine break.

Messi, who is yet to sign his anticipated new contract with Barcelona after becoming a free agent at the end of May, posted a touching video over the weekend showing him enjoying an underwater kiss and cuddle with his wife of four years.

One fan reacted to the sexy photo of Antonela, which was liked by nearly 1.5 million people in the first six hours after it was published, by saying: “This girl is on fire.”

Another joked in a message to Messi posted on the pretty brunette’s Instagram: “@leomessi do you not get tried of winning everywhere you go!”

The Barcelona frontman was also quick to congratulate her with fire emojis.

Messi and his family are believed to be staying at the exclusive Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic, a 7,000-acre resort less than an hour’s drive from Santo Domingo International Airport where stars including Beyonce and Michael Jordan have holidayed.

It is owned by a Florida-based Cuban businessman, friend of the former King of Spain and his three brothers through their companies.

Travel reviews describe Casa de Campo as a “preferred Caribbean jet-set getaway and golf haven” which has “set the benchmark for luxury travel in the Dominican Republic since the 70s.”

Celeb visitors have included Beyonce and Jay-Z, late fashion idol Oscar de la Renta, the Kardashians and Michael Jordan, who hosted his bachelor party at Villa Vogue at Casa de Campo in 2013.

The Kardashian family filmed two episodes of the hit ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ reality TV show at Casa de Campo.

Messi is not expected to return to Spain until next month.

The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has reportedly agreed to take a 50 per cent pay cut as part of a new deal he has agreed to in principle with his lifelong club, but will be offered a five-year deal instead of the two years initially talked about.

A lower salary for Messi is key to keeping him at the LaLiga side because of its troubled financial situation.

Former Man City striker Sergio Aguero signed for Barcelona at the end of May.

Barcelona frontman Antoine Griezmann has been linked to a return to old side Atletico Madrid as part of a swap deal with Saul Niguez to help with the operation to keep Messi at the Camp Nou.
