Lionel Messi gifts teammates iPhones worth Sh26 milllion (photos)

Soccer star Lionel Messi is showing major love to his teammates, and other staff members.

He has gifted every member of his team and support staff who were part of the historic win over France in the final in Qatar 2022.

The footballer has bought 35 Gold iPhones to gift to his winning teammates. Since winning the 2022 World Cup, the man has been basking in the glory of his win. A few months have passed since Argentina's victory.

According to the pictures available, each phone is 24-carat gold and features the player’s name, number, and Argentinian logo engraved on it.

The phones were quite pricey but for the rich star, that is not a problem. Details revealed by the British magazine The Sun say he spent £175,000 on the phones.

iDesign Gold have shared beautiful images of the phones on their Instagram page. See above.

A source told The Sun: "Lionel wanted to do something special and blingy to celebrate his proudest moment. He got in touch with entrepreneur Ben Lyons and they came up with the design together."

The CEO of iDesign Gold conquers with the above message. Ben Lyons said, “Lionel is not only the Goat but he’s one of IDESIGN GOLD’s most loyal customers and got in touch with us a couple of months after the World Cup final.”

Adding,

“He said he wanted a special gift for all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win but didn’t want the usual gift of watches. So, I suggested gold iPhones inscribed with their names and he loved the idea.”
