Taking into account that the shirt of the new club of the 10 is not yet officially for sale in Argentina and that the imitations were extremely close to the original, it is likely that the intention was to sell them as authentic and unduly profit from the passion that generates the seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or in our country.
