May 20 – A white paper restaurant napkin that formally linked a young Lionel Messi to Barcelona was sold at a Bonhams on-line auction on Friday for $968,600.
The starting price for the napkin was $379,000.
The napkin was signed on December 14, 2000 at a Barcelona tennis club in a meeting between Argentine agent Horacio Gaggioli, another agent, Josep Maria Minguella and Barcelona’s then-sporting director, Carles Rexach.
Rexach had asked a waiter for paper and was given a blank napkin.
