The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, decided to give his colleagues in the Argentine national team and the coaching staff a different precious gift after their great achievement in achieving the 2022 World Cup.
According to the British newspaper “The Sun”, Messi decided to give all players iPhone phones made of 24-carat gold, on which he spent more than $ 200,000, and the number of pieces reached 35.
Messi led Argentina to glory in the World Cup in December, as his exciting brilliance in Qatar led Argentina to victory through many difficult confrontations before beating France on penalties in the final.
The Argentine captain wanted to give his teammates a personal souvenir to remember their success, and that was represented by smartphones made of 24 karat gold.
star The Paris Saint-Germain received the mobile phones in Paris over the weekend and will start handing them over to the national team’s stars during the national team’s gathering two weeks later.
The CEO of iDesign Gold, Ben Lyons, explained how Messi approached him about designing a special gift after the victory in the World Cup.
“Lionel is not only the best in history, but he is one of iDesigns Gold’s most loyal customers, and he contacted us two months after the World Cup final,” Lyons told The Sun.
He said he “wanted a special gift for all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win, but he didn’t want the usual gift of watches”.
“So, I suggested gold-plated iPhones with the national team logo and the name of each player on them, and I liked the idea immediately.”
Each luxury piece of iPhone features a simple design in gold with the Argentine national team logo with the three stars, the player’s name and the national team’s shirt number, and the words “2022 World Cup Champions.”
