According
to
a
report
from
‘The
Sun’,
the
Argentine
ace
placed
a
gift
order
worth
£175,000
(Approximately
Rs
1.73
crore)
of
24-carat
gold
iPhones,
and
the
order
was
delivered
to
his
Paris
apartment
last
weekend.
The
customized
gold
iPhone
14s
features
every
player’s
name,
number
and
the
Argentina
logo
engraved
on
the
back
of
each
device.
The
report
from
the
British
Tabloid
further
quoted
from
a
source
that
the
two-time
Golden
Ball
winner
wanted
to
commemorate
his
team’s
historic
achievement
at
the
2022
World
Cup
in
Qatar
with
something
“special
and
blingy”.
Messi,
who
was
earlier
this
week
voted
the
Best
FIFA
Men’s
Player
2022,
got
in
contact
with
the
CEO
of
smartphone
customisation
service
IDESIGN
Gold,
Ben
Lyons,
who
said
this
was
in
the
pipleline
since
a
month.
“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,”
Lyons
expalined
how
the
two
finalised
the
glittery
Apple
order.
“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.”
IDesign
Gold
also
confirmed
the
delivery
via
their
Instagram
page
by
posting
a
photograph
with
Messi
and
the
caption:
“It
was
an
honour
to
deliver
35
gold
iphone
14
to
@leomessi
for
his
team
mates
&
staff
as
a
gift
for
winning
the
world
cup
final.”
