Inter Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets has listed his waterfront home in Sea Ranch Lakes, near Fort Lauderdale, for $9.8 million. The listing comes two years after he and his wife, Elena Galera, purchased the property for about $8.7 million in 2023. That transaction set a record for the small gated community located roughly five miles from Inter Miami’s stadium.
Busquets is retiring from Major League Soccer at the end of this year. ESPN reported in October that he plans to take a break before considering a coaching career. “I think in the future, yes [I’d want to be a coach], but for now I’d rather take a sabbatical,” Busquets told reporters. “It’s a long time, with hardly any weekends. … You want to enjoy time with your family, time for me, for them, seeing my children, being with them, traveling more, watching football from a different perspective.”
The house at 7 Seneca Road features seven bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms across 7,100 square feet on a 0.3-acre lot with approximately 100 feet of frontage on Lake Seneca. The home also includes a three-car garage and was built in 2023. Veroushka Volkert of One Sotheby’s International Realty holds the current listing and handled the previous sale as well.
Busquets joined Inter Miami after playing for FC Barcelona from 2008 until moving to Major League Soccer alongside Lionel Messi. Inter Miami is owned by brothers Jorge and Jose Mas, David Beckham and other investors.
Messi also resides nearby; he and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo bought an eight-bedroom estate in Fort Lauderdale’s Bay Colony neighborhood last year for $10.8 million and own luxury condominiums in Sunny Isles Beach.
Inter Miami’s ownership group—which includes Ares Management—recently secured $450 million in financing from JPMorgan Chase earlier this year as part of efforts to complete its planned $1 billion mixed-use stadium development near Miami International Airport.
