Lionel Messi's used tissue from his farewell press conference in Barcelona earlier this month is allegedly up for sale at a whopping sum of USD 1 million.
Football fans around the world were left “shocked" and "surprised" at Lionel Messi's sudden exit from his childhood club Barcelona. Messi broke down while walking onto the stage before conducting his news conference and was handed a tissue by his wife Antonella Roccuzzo as he fought back the tears.
The tissue, which was used by Messi to wipe his tears during the emotional farewell press conference, is up for sale for a whopping USD 1 million. The tissue was picked up off the floor by someone in attendance at the press conference and they have now put it up for sale on the international auction site, Meikeduo, with the starting price up a whopping $1 million. The seller has justified the price by writing in the description that it 'contains Messi's genetic material' and can be used to 'clone' a new version of Argentina captain.
Notably, Messi has joined star-packed Paris St Germain after leaving Barcelona, the club where he had begun and expected to end his career. Messi had become the most desired free agent in soccer history after his attempts to stay at Barcelona were rejected last week by the Spanish league because the salary would not comply with financial regulations, with the Catalan club burdened by debts of more than 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion).
PSG will be hoping not only that Messi helps the team regain the French title it lost to Lille last season but finally win the Champions League.
