Neymar sold Messi's gift for children

The story of the friendship between Lionel Messi and Neymar is known to everyone. Their friendship was strengthened during their time at Barcelona, and it grew even deeper at PSG.

It was due to this friendship that Messi brought a gift to Neymar before leaving PSG. However, Neymar didn't take much care of the gift given by Messi. Instead, he used that gift, which was received from PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, to help disadvantaged children. Neymar put that gift to good use by donating it to help children in need.

The incident was reported by the French media outlet "La Parisien." Before Messi played his last match for PSG against Clermont in the French league last season on June 3, the club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi gave Messi and Sergio Ramos commemorative gifts. Messi played wearing the number 30 jersey in that match, which was specially designed with golden color by the PSG president. Ramos also received a similar gift from Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Both of them played their last match for PSG before leaving the club, wearing the number 4 jersey.

However, Messi did not keep the gift given by the PSG president himself. He handed over the gift to his friend and former club teammate Neymar. The Brazilian star has put that gift to great use through his own foundation. Neymar's Foundation works on various charitable projects in Brazil, helping underprivileged children. That's why Neymar bought that valuable gift from Messi.

The golden vase was sold for a good price. A Brazilian journalist, YouTuber, and streamer named Casimiro bought it for 158,000 euros. Casimiro also received the privilege of purchasing the vase from Neymar.

In addition to staying in a luxurious villa for two nights without paying, Casimiro will also have the opportunity to have dinner with Brazilian actress Deborah Secco in Brazil.
