FC Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi will be a dad for the third time.

Just over a month since the marrying Antonella Roccuzzo, the pair are set to have another baby. The gender is not yet known, according to Spanish newspaper Diario AS. Messi and Roccuzzo are already parents of Mateo,1 and Thiago, 4.

Messi, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, married his childhood sweetheart at the end of June this year in a lavish Argentine ceremony, which more than 250 family members and friends attended.

Messi's father, Jorge, has met with Manchester City's director of football, Txiki Begiristain, to discuss a potential transfer to the Premier League next summer on a free transfer, reported The Sun.

But City is unlikely to sign Messi before this summer's transfer window closes. If that happens, Messi will be raising his new child in England.
