The most famous napkin in the world, the one signed by Lionel Messi in 2000 to join the Barcelona academy, will be auctioned in March at Bonhams auction house.
'La Vanguardia' reported months ago that the product, one of the most sought-after on planet football, would be auctioned. Now, Bonhams has published the auction of the item.
The bidding will take place between 18 and 27 March through Bonhams, online only. The napkin will be available for live viewing in New York, Paris and London prior to the auction.
The price stipulated by the auction house is between 350,000 and 580,000 euros and will be open to all those who wish to bid for such an emblematic object.
It is worth remembering that this napkin was the beginning of Leo Messi's career at Barcelona. It is signed, as well as by the player himself, who was 13 years old at the time, by Horacio Gaggioli, who was his agent and who has had the napkin all these years, by Josep Maria Minguella, who discovered Messi, and Carles Rexach, who was Barcelona's secretary at the time.
