Horacio Gaggioli, Lionel Messi's former agent, has put up for auction at Bonhams the napkin on which the footballer's first contract with “Barcelona” was signed in 2000. Sports.ru reports this.
The estimated value of the lot is from 300 thousand to 500 thousand pounds sterling. Gaggioli previously tried to negotiate with “Barcelona” to place the napkin in the club's museum, but was unsuccessful.
“In Barcelona, December 14, 2000, in the presence of Mr. Josep Minguella and Horacio, the technical secretary of “Barcelona”, Carles Rexach, undertakes, on his own responsibility, despite some opinions to the contrary, to sign a contract with the player Lionel Messi, if we maintain the agreement on the agreed amounts”, - is written on the napkin.
