Lionel Messi's World Cup jerseys set to sell for £8 Million at auction

In an auction set to take place at Sotheby’s in New York, Lionel Messi’s jerseys from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including the historic final against France, are expected to fetch a substantial sum of £8 million. Six shirts worn by the football legend during Argentina’s triumphant journey to victory are up for grabs, with a portion of the proceeds slated to benefit charity. The collection includes Messi’s jerseys from the first half of the final, the semi-final clash against Croatia, the quarter-final showdown with the Netherlands, the round-of-16 match versus Australia, and two of the three group-stage games.

The estimated price tag of at least $10 million (£8 million) could potentially set a new record for the highest amount paid for a sports memorabilia collection, surpassing the £8.1 million achieved by Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls jersey from the 1998 NBA Finals Game 1. Sotheby’s, renowned for handling high-profile auctions, believes that the significance of Messi’s role in the 2022 World Cup victory elevates this collection to unprecedented heights in the realm of sports memorabilia. Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s Head of Modern Collectibles, said; “The 2022 FIFA World Cup stands as one of the greatest events in sports history, intrinsically connected to Messi’s valiant journey and firmly establishing his status as the greatest player of all time.” “The sale of these six shirts stands as a monumental occasion in auction history, offering fans and collectors a connection to Messi’s crowning achievement. It is an honor for Sotheby’s to present and exhibit these invaluable collectibles to the public, which encapsulate the sheer brilliance of a player who has redefined the boundaries of football excellence,” Wachter added.

Return the GHc6 million haram money

"Return the GHc6 million haram money"

Some clerics have ordered a young Ghanaian practicing Muslim who recently won GHC6 million through a bet to return the money. The young man has been ordered to reject and return the entire amount of money to the betting company because his religious belief forbids gambling in all its shades and forms, including proceeds from gambling. The winner, only identified as Fuseini, went to receive his cash amount with his mother, who was seen wearing a hijab and wiping tears of joy from the face of her son when he was presented with the dummy cheque of their winnings on Tuesday, November 14, 2023. An emotional Fuseini, who has over the years been yearning to turn the fortunes of his family, was seen shedding tears and being consoled by his mother and a staff member of Pawabet, the platform on which the money was won.

"Return the GHc6 million haram money" - Muslim clerics tells Ghanaian young man who won bet

Young man who won bet worth GHc6 million. Source: Google Despite Fuseini’s tears of joy over his GHC6 million win, equivalent to N423,554,809 million, some Islamic clerics have questioned the morality of the win, describing it as haram, a forbidden act, because it was money made through gambling. Staunch Muslims view gambling as a sin or a practice not supported by Islam. Some of the clerics have mounted pressure on the young man, whose economic woes are now history, to return the money. The clerics urging Fuseini to return the gambling money have cited Quran 5:90, which says, “Believers! Intoxicants, games of chance, idolatrous sacrifices at altars, and divining arrows are all abominations, the handiwork of Satan. So turn wholly away from it that you may attain true success.” A social media platform, Iqra Foundation, has taken on the winner and his mother wrote: “Fuseini has won GHC 6 million (60 billion old currency) on betting, which we all know is haram. His mother, with her veil, is in the picture in support of her child’s haram. Betting has become a canker to the youth, especially the Muslims and Zango youth in our communities so this Fuseini boy’s win will be a motivation to some innocent children out there. What do you think?”

£20 million ask price prevented Chelsea from signing Bellingham

£20 million ask price prevented Chelsea from signing Bellingham

Former Chelsea manager and legend Frank Lampard reveals he made attempts to sign Jude Bellingham during his time in charge of the club. Lampard disclosed during Mikel Obi’s ‘Obi One’ Podcast that he was “desperate” to bring Bellingham to Chelsea, but the club’s management was unwilling to pay the asking price, which was around £20 million at the time. Bellingham has made a huge impact since his move to Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer. The Spanish giants signed the English international in a deal worth up to £113 million.

£20 million ask price prevented Chelsea from signing Bellingham - Frank Lampard

Jude Bellingham – Getty image However, Lampard’s efforts to sign him during his tenure at Chelsea were thwarted. “When I was managing at Chelsea (first time) I was desperate to bring Jude Bellingham in. “But I couldn’t get it through upstairs – the idea of paying £20m for someone his age (at the time),” Lampard said. Lampard who first managed Chelsea from July 2019 to January 2021, expressed his desire to secure Bellingham when the midfielder was still playing for Birmingham City. Although Lampard couldn’t convince the club’s decision-makers to sign Bellingham, the player later made a move to Borussia Dortmund in a £25 million transfer transfer fee. During Lampard’s time as Chelsea manager, the club primarily signed established players like Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz, and Edouard Mendy, who have all been sold now.
