t is reported that the first jersey worn by Lionel Messi when he was five years old will be auctioned, with a potential price of up to millions of US dollars.
Sources stated that this jersey, the first one Messi ever wore at the age of five, dates back to 1993 when he played for Grandoli Athletic Club, where he won his first career title.
After that childhood championship match, the jersey was given to his then-coach, who kept it for many years to commemorate the early days of his coaching career. After Pablo Alfieri passed away, the jersey has been carefully preserved by his family as a precious personal collection.
Although the official auction date, starting price or public lots have not yet been announced, expectations for this auction are extremely high. Previously, Messi's jerseys worn during the 2022 World Cup sold for 7.8 million US dollars at an international auction. If items from his peak period can fetch such amazing prices, the potential of this milestone jersey is even more anticipated.
Experts agree that items related to the "beginning" of legendary figures are often the most sought-after. This is not just a sports item, but a fragment of history, marking the start of an irreplicable journey.
