Yes! You heard that right. The departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona to Paris Saint Germain (PSG) shocked the football world and left fans emotional. According to reports in Argentinian media outlet Misiones Online, the demands for Messi collectables reached another high after this. It was at this point that the tear-soaked tissue reached Mercado Libre, a popular website where fans can get the "used handkerchief" for an exorbitant price of $1 million. The reports further stated that an unknown person got hold of the tear-soaked tissue after the press conference and posted an ad online saying that it would be sold if the right price came in.
Reportedly, the seller's caption justified the hefty price by stating that the tissue contains Messi's genetic material that one could use to "clone" another footballer like him.
