On social media, fans can easily find services with huge prices such as taking photos and having dinner with Messi for 300,000 yuan (nearly 1 billion VND), a tour to see Messi at Cong Nhan Stadium including entrance tickets and a “custom-designed VIP package” including a signed jersey, front row seats and a photo with Messi for 13,000 yuan (42 million VND).
Even with 50 million yuan (164 billion VND), Messi is advertised to appear in a livestream sales session, ready to "praise the advantages of your product"...
From tens of millions to hundreds of billions of dong, those are the advertising packages with Messi’s name being offered on social networks. But of course, they are all fake because simply, Messi only came to Beijing to play football (against Australia on June 15).
Chinese fans are eager to see Messi in the flesh.
Police have had to warn the public. In a statement on Weibo, Beijing police quoted the advertisement for the “take a photo and dine with Messi” package and sent the message: “If you are cheated of 300,000 yuan, we will toast you.”
It is not clear whether any victims have fallen for these tricks, but the above details show the great attraction of the Argentine star.
Chinese fans have been hounding him for every moment. On the day he landed at Beijing airport, hundreds of people crowded the airport for hours hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol. Outside the Four Seasons Hotel, they also blocked the walkway. His every move before the match against Australia was closely watched.
Messi, who is set to join Inter Miami after leaving PSG, is also expected to feature in another friendly when Argentina take on Indonesia in Jakarta on June 19. But he is unlikely to feature in that match.
