On January 24, an Al Nassr club shirt signed by Ronaldo was auctioned in Saudi Arabia. The price was pushed up very quickly, from 77 thousand USD to 100, 110 before a businessman won with an amount of 125 thousand USD
The above number surprised many attendees. The auction unit admitted that this is the most expensive shirt this company has ever sold. The previous record belonged to a shirt of former player Didier Drogba with a figure of 85 thousand USD. “I thought no one could surpass Drogba’s record,” this unit shared.
In fact, there have been many football players’ shirts sold at auction for millions of dollars. However, these are all shirts with great historical significance. For example, six of Messi’s shirts worn at the 2022 World Cup were bought for $7.8 million last month. Ronaldo’s recent shirt is a completely normal shirt.
Witnessing Ronaldo’s jersey being sold at a “huge” price, many fans expressed admiration, admitting that the attraction from the 38-year-old superstar is still great.
Ronaldo is still showing impressive form in the Al Nassr shirt. Last year, CR7 was the top scorer of the year with 54 goals. However, the Portuguese superstar has not yet played any matches in 2023 due to injury. Ronaldo is racing against time to return in time for Messi’s match against Inter Miami on February 2.
