According to a statement by Sotheby's, one of the world's leading auction houses, the six jerseys worn by the 36-year-old player, who played a leading role in Argentina's tournament victory, will be auctioned as a set in New York.
The Messi jerseys are expected to sell for over 8 million pounds.
The jersey worn by Diego Maradona during the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between Argentina and England, which was sold under the name "Hand of God" in reference to his goal scored with his hand, had set a record for football jerseys by fetching 7.1 million pounds.
