Veteran football player Lionel Messi’s record-breaking career with Spanish club Barcelona started with a contract written on a ‘napkin’. This napkin is up for auction with a starting price of 300,000 pounds (about Rs 3.15 crore).
British auction company ‘Bonhams’ will organize online bidding for this ‘Nupkin’ from 18 to 27 March. For this, ‘Bonhams’ has signed an agreement with Horacio Gaglioli, a representative of Messi’s home country Argentina. The napkin, dated 14 December 2000, is signed by Gaglioli, another representative Josep Maria Minguella and Barcelona’s then sporting director Carlos Rexach.
“It was the only thing I had available,” Rexach told ESPN in 2020. I saw that the only way to comfort George was to sign something, to give him some evidence, so I asked the waiter for a napkin.” “I told Jorge (Lionel Messi’s father) that my signature is there and there are witnesses, with my name on it I will take responsibility directly, there is nothing else to talk about and to be patient for a few days because Leo has already decided. He could have said, “I am a Barça player myself.”
