It is believed that his jersey will be sold for 10 million dollars
Leo Messi achieved his biggest life dream a little less than a year ago. At the age of 36, he finally achieved the goal of becoming a world champion, thus confirming the status of the best player of all time in the eyes of a large number of football fans. The jersey of the Argentine wizard from the final match against France will be the main item at the auction next month, and the plan is to break the current world record for the amount of money spent on some sports memorabilia. The starting price should be 10,000,000. dollars, and it can only be higher.

The mentioned record has been owned by Michael Jordan since 2022, when his jersey from the first game of the 1998 NBA Finals series between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz was sold for about 9,300,000. dollars. Part of the money will end up for humanitarian purposes, and it will also include Messi's jerseys from other games of the World Cup in Qatar, such as the one from the semi-final against Croatia, the quarter-final against the Netherlands and the round of 16 against Australia.
The amount that the interested parties will have to allocate is astronomical. The fact that Kurt Cobain's guitar from the 1993 concert (five months before his death) was sold this year for 4,800,000 dollars, which is the highest so far in 2023 at auctions, is enough poof, and the most expensive in history when it comes to musical souvenirs. As a reminder, the final of the World Cup in Qatar was played on December 18, 2022, at the Lusail Stadium in Doha. In one of the most interesting matches in football history, Argentina triumphed against France after penalty kicks, after previously it was 2:2 (after 90 minutes) and 3:3 (after 120 minutes). Messi scored two of the Gauchos' three goals, and he also beat Hugo Lloris in the penalty shootout. Argentina won their third world championship title, and the first after 36 years, when Diego Armando Maradona was their main star.
