Dani Lorenzo accepte 50 euros contre son maillot. CAPTURE TWITTER

Ce dimanche 14 avril, après le match entre la réserve de l’Athletico Madrid et Malaga, en troisième division espagnole, le milieu de terrain andalou Dani Lorenzo a accepté de donner son maillot à un fan… contre 50 euros.

The video is surprising. After the match against the Athletico Madrid reserve won 1-0 by Malaga, Spanish footballer Dani Lorenzo greets the supporters who made the trip. After a few photos, he is stopped by one of them.

"Give me your swimsuit", he says. "They charge us", replies Dani Lorenzo. "I'll pay you", suggests the fan.

"I hope people understand"

The rest of the scene is astonishing. We see the fan handing a 50 euro note to the Malaga midfielder who then takes off his jersey to give it to him.

💰👕 ¡50 EUROS POR CAMISETA!

"We are in the third division, I am not a millionaire, defended the footballer, quoted by 20 minutos. The club is giving us a certain number of jerseys for the season. After that, he charges us for them." Before finally recognizing: "I think that I shouldn’t have taken the ticket but I  rsquo;hope people understand."

Qualified in the quarter-finals of the Champions League during the 2012/2013 season, the Spanish club Malaga has since been in great financial difficulty. The club has tumbled down the ranks from the European top 8 to a place in the 3rd division of the Spanish championship.
