As reported by Marca, one man that has done particularly well from Messi's decision is a Chilean going by the name of Pedro Vasquez - who managed to catch the errant ball.
Pedro has claimed that since it became clear that Messi would never kick a ball in international football again (until he miraculously decides to come out of retirement just in time for the next World Cup), he's been offered some huge bids for the item, with the highest amounting to €27,000.
Unsurprisingly, Pedro is considering selling up, especially if the value continues to rise.
"The truth is that if the ball becomes any more valuable, it would be a risk to have it in my house. I could sell it, it would depend on the circumstances. It is nice to have the ball, but if it keeps rising in price, I'll sell."Given that there have been plenty of folk who are urging Messi to reconsider his international future, Pedro might want to get the thing on eBay pretty sharpish.
