The Argentine footballer's status is such that any item related to him is worth a lot of money. The "tissue paper contract" that the scorer signed with Barcelona in 2000 will be auctioned off in March, with a reserve price of 350,000 euros (about 2.96 million Hong Kong dollars).
On December 14, 2000, Argentine soccer agent Gagioli, several Barcelona executives, and the Mez family met at a tennis club to discuss the signing of the then 13-year-old Mez to Barcelona. As the family was worried about Misi, Barcelona's then technical director, Lizaji, wrote a "provisional contract" on a piece of tissue paper, which was signed by both parties, promising in black and white that Misi would be signed.
