Lionel Messi, a talismanic football player who recently left his boyhood club FC Barcelona and signed for Paris Saint Germain is proving why he’s the most influential and esteemed footballer of all time.
A tissue used by Messi to wipe his tears during his farewell speech before leaving Barcelona is put on an online auction site. The asking price for the tissue is $1 million, which roughly converts to Rs 7.42 crores.
When a tissue that has been used by a person is costing Rs 7.42 crores, one can easily gauge the stature of the person. The tissue is yet to be sold off though.
As for Messi, he moved to PSG as a free agent after Barcelona’s horrific transfer expenditures in recent years. The club made multiple flop signings in the recent past and their financial structure took such a big beating that they couldn’t afford to keep hold of Messi, player who bought them global fame.
