Unbelievable: Messi’s contract tissue for sale for £300,000
The tissue paper used to sign Messi’s contract with Barcelona when he was 13 years old will be auctioned in March with a starting price of 300,000 pounds.
British auction house Bonhams just released the above announcement on January 31.
Messi’s signing tissue was signed in December 2000, when Carles Rexach (then Barca’s sporting director) agreed with Jorge Messi, Messi’s father, and agent Horacio Gaggioli, to sign the teenage Argentine – Lionel Messi. He became a football superstar and the club’s all-time leading scorer.
The historic moment in world football happened after Barca’s sporting director – Rexach invited Jorge Messi to lunch because Rexach was worried about not receiving a response from his father, after Messi’s first trials at the Spanish club.
“Barcelona, December 14, 2000, in the presence of Mr. Minguella and Horacio, Carles Rexach, the sporting director of FC Barcelona. In my capacity as a club, I agree, despite all disagreements , to sign the player Lionel Messi, on the condition that we keep the agreed amount confidential,” the information on Messi’s contract napkin was written at the Pompeia tennis club.
The deal was ratified by then club president Joan Gaspart. It was officially signed on the night of 14 December 2000 and a month later, Barcelona completed the signing of Messi, who has spent 20 years with the Catalan club.
During his career at Barca, 8-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi helped the Nou Camp team win 35 championships, set a record of 782 appearances and scored 674 goals.
