Football star Lionel Messi's partner Antonella Roccuzzo and Luis Suarez's wife Sofia Balbi have taken their friendship to the next level by collaborating to open a shoe store in Barcelona, reported Daily Mail.
Roccuzzo and Balbi became friends when Suarez joined the Spanish giants in 2014. The store will have products which are imported from Rio de Janeiro.
The outlet will have wallets, accessories and fragrances, and will open the store with products of Ricky Sarkany, an Argentine fashion designer known for his line of shoes and accessories.

Sarkany posted this picture (above) of Antonella and Sofia together on Instagram recently and captioned it: "Happy Easter. Final countdown!!#atuspies. BARCELONA# shoes."
The business venture indicates that Messi, five-time Ballon d'Or winner, may plan to stay in Barcelona to extend his current contract with the club, which expires in 2018.
There is no cause for such a concern with Suarez, who signed an extension deal in December last year which keeps him at the club till 2021.
