The shirt that Sergio Aguero wore when he scored Manchester City’s historic goal in the 2012 Premier League title has never been more valuable. Even when he was celebrating, the Argentine took it off, but now, Kun Agüero’s No. 16 shirt will be auctioned for a minimum of R$123,000.
The auction will take place in Derbyshire on November 3. As David Wilson-Turner, director of sports and memorabilia at Hansons Auctioneers, said, the shirt will have a forgotten owner: Mario Balotelli.
Mario Balotelli asked for Aguero’s shirt as a souvenir, but he forgot it with his bag. When Balotelli left without his bag and shirt, everything was taken to the training ground, and he never asked to return the items.
However, the reason the shirt is auctioned is beneficial: the man who found out he had cancer and needed money to pay for treatment.
– After a while, the member of the technical committee who founded the shirt gifted it to the National Football Shirt Collection, from Aminati. I never considered selling it, but the coordinator needs medical attention. All proceeds will go to him and to two charities very important to him: Testicular Cancer Research UK and the Stroke Association.
It is considered by many to be the most important goal in the club’s history, as the 44-year-old City finished unsuccessfully in the Premier League. The cup beat arch-rivals Manchester United on goal difference after Aguero scored in the 49th minute of the second half.
Aguero wore the shirt when he scored the third goal in the Citizens’ 3-2 win over Queens Park Rangers on May 13, 2012. Novel “Agüeroooooo!” He is one of the most famous players in the world of football in recent times.
