Lionel Messi gave his teammates gold-plated phones
Each iPhone 14 includes the Argentina Football Association emblem with three stars and the text “2022 World Cup Champions,” according to iDesign Gold.
In addition, the name and shirt number of each teammate are engraved on top.
Company CEO Ben Lyons confirmed the news and explained that the devices were sent to Messi’s home in Paris on Saturday: “Lionel is one of the most dedicated players and contacted us a few months after the World Cup final. He said he wanted a special gift to celebrate his incredible victory, but he didn’t want a watch. So I pitched it to him and he loved the idea.”
In the photos they shared on their social networks, you can see the mobile phones of Angel Di Maria, Nicolas Otamendi, Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis McAllister or Julián Alvarez.
Messi spent $210,000 on these phones, writes News.ro.
