The football boots with which Paul
Pogba effectively won the World Cup for France last year are to go under the
hammer in Paris later this month, Christie said Monday.
The auction house estimate they could
go for up to 50,000 euros ($56,500).
The Manchester United midfielder, who
scored France’s third goal in the 4-2 victory over Croatia, has donated them to
a French charity which helps high school students from tough areas.
Pogba, who grew up on a deprived
estate in the Paris suburbs, has also given the France shirt he wore during the
team’s victory over Iceland in the Euro 2016 quarter final, in which he also
scored.
France eventually lost to Portugal in
extra-time in the final.
Two of Pogba’s Juventus rigs will
also auctioned at the sale on April 29.
“This organisation does great work
for young people in difficulty,” the star said. “Coming from where I do, I know
how difficult it can be to succeed.”
