A “priceless” Lionel Messi shirt has been given to a charitable organization, and pop sensation Selena Gomez will serve as the auctioneer.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner has consented to give up one of his World Cup 2022 shirts. Messi completed an incredible medal haul and solidified his place among the all-time greats by leading Argentina to the finals of that tournament in Qatar.
The aforementioned shirt has been donated to the Rare Impact Fund, and proceeds from its sale will support youth mental health access and education worldwide. On Wednesday, Gomez is organizing a fundraiser called “A Night of Radiance and Reflection.” Rumor has it that Messi will be there.
The opening bid for the shirt that Messi made available was $1,000. Not unexpectedly, demand for the highly sought-after piece of memorabilia has quickly grown; now, it is selling for $6,000. A further increase in price is anticipated, as the property in question is regarded as “priceless.”
Gomez and South American sensation Lionel Messi have already met once in 2023. On September 4, Inter Miami’s MLS matchup with LAFC took place in California, and Gomez was one of the A-list attendees. A video of Gomez’s response to a save that kept Messi from scoring went viral.
