Possibly one of the most precious items in the football world will be available to the general public! At least if you have 350,000 euros... The napkin with which Barcelona "signed" Messi in 2000 will be auctioned.

According to information from the newspaper "La Vanguardia," the valuable memento will be auctioned by the British company Bonhams between March 18 and 27. The napkin was kept by Horacio Gaggioli, one of the representatives of the Argentine star at that time.

Although there was talk for a long time about the possibility of the unique "contract" ending up in the FC Barcelona Museum, negotiations for this to happen did not come to fruition. Now, if Barça wants it, they will have to enter the bidding, which will be around 300,000 pounds (350,000 euros).

The history of the napkin dates back to December 14, 2000, when, after a lack of response from the Culés, the Messi family began to worry. To calm them, Carles Rexach "signed" a commitment on the piece of paper with the aforementioned Gaggioli
