Luana Sandien and Lionel Messi
Barcelona FC fan and Playboy model Luana Sandien has offered to pay GBP438k (approx Rs 4.45 crore) for Lionel Messi's teary handkerchief.
Messi's wife Antonela Roccuzzo handed him a handkerchief as he broke down in tears at his Barcelona FC exit press conference.
According to The Sun, when Sandien found the item online, she could not stop herself from bidding for it. "I bid USD 600,000 [438,000 pounds] to get the Messi handkerchief.
After that the ad disappeared. I gave more than half the advertised amount believing I would win, but the ad disappeared after my bid, out of nowhere. The ad went off the air without giving more information about the outcome of the case, so we don't know if anyone bought the artefact, or if the advertiser gave up on the idea. I hope I made it," she said.
