Lionel Messi asked his close friend Neymar to auction medals at PSG to support charities
Lionel Messi has asked his close friend Neymar to auction off the commemorative medal he received from PSG in his final match in France. Neymar took the award to an auction, and it was won by famous Brazilian streamer Casimiro with a bid of $172,000. The entire amount raised will be donated to Neymar’s charitable organizations.
In a recent interview with RMC Sport, Messi admitted to experiencing a rift with the PSG fans. While he initially received a lot of support, things started to change, and there was a growing distance between him and the fanbase. However, Messi emphasized that he only holds memories of those who support him and expressed his fondness for the club and his friends at PSG.
In addition to Messi’s departure, Sergio Ramos has also left PSG, and there is speculation that star player Kylian Mbappe may also leave in the future. PSG may have to sell Mbappe to avoid losing him for free in the summer of 2024. According to French media outlet “Le Parisien,” if Real Madrid pays the full transfer fee of 200 million euros, Mbappe will move to the Bernabeu.
