Details
The napkin on which the 13-year-old Messi signed his first contract with Barcelona on December 14, 2000, is kept by the Argentine player's consultant Horacio Gallioli, who once helped the Argentine with his transition. Perhaps this item should have appeared in a museum, as a small piece of paper rewrote the history of FC Barcelona, according to sports observers. However, it is now announced that the napkin will be auctioned by the prestigious British auction house Bonhams, from March 18 to 27. The expected sale price will be between 300,000 and 500,000 pounds sterling, but could rise to almost 600,000 euros.
