The napkin, which was the Argentine‘s first contract at Barcelona when he was 13 years old, bears the commitment of the then club president Carles Rexach to sign Messi.
The agreement was also signed by Josep Minguella, the Spanish club’s transfer advisor, and Horacio Gaggioli, the agent who recommended Messi.
And a month after that signature, history witnessed the birth of a star. The financial equivalent of this napkin, which represents the beginning of Messi‘s career, is 300 thousand euros.
The napkin, which will be sold at auction, was unveiled before the auction. The napkin is on display at Bonhams auction house in New York. The napkin’s next stops will be Paris and London.
The napkin signed by Messi will be offered for sale on March 18 with a starting price of 300 thousand euros. The auction will be held online.
