Merih Demiral, a former defender for Juventus, has revealed that he will be auctioning off a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey from his collection in order to raise money for earthquake relief efforts in Turkey and Syria. The shirt is part of Demiral’s collection.
On Twitter, Demiral, who played with Ronaldo during his time at Juventus, revealed that he had discussed the crisis in Turkey and Syria with the former Manchester United forward before coming to the conclusion that he should sell off his signed jersey in order to generate money for relief efforts. The money that was made from the auction is going to be given to a community nonprofit organisation.
“Just now, I had a conversation with @Cristiano. He expressed his sorrow by saying that he was really upset about what had occurred in Turkey. We are holding an auction of Cristiano Ronaldo jersey that I have in my possession. The total amount of money raised from the auction will be donated to those impacted by the earthquake. The money will be given to the organisation known as @ahbap “On Twitter, Demiral included a caption with an image of the signed jersey.
Az önce @Cristiano ile konuştum.
Türkiye'de yaşananlara çok üzüldüğünü söyledi. Ronaldo'nun koleksiyonumdaki imzalı formasını açık artırma usulüyle satışa çıkarıyoruz.
Açık artırmadan elde edilecek gelirin tamamı deprem bölgesinde kullanılmak üzere @ahbap 'a bağışlanacaktır. pic.twitter.com/OwnU93oShJ
