According to the latest report from The Sun, the jersey worn by Pelé in the 1958 World Cup final is expected to sell for £4.5 million.
Pelé, then 17, scored twice against Sweden, helping his team secure a 5-2 victory. He still holds the record as the youngest goalscorer in a World Cup final and went on to win two more Jules Rimet Trophies.
His historic number 10 jersey will be the only item offered at Sotheby's "Beautiful Game" auction in New York, with bidding set to open on June 29, exactly 68 years after Brazil's triumph.
Sotheby's stated about the jersey: "This shirt has not been exhibited to the public for over 20 years, and its historical significance in the football memorabilia market is unparalleled, with four members of the 1958 World Cup-winning squad confirming its authenticity."

For those of you that don’t know, one of the reasons rich people buy these expensive jerseys and art pieces is to evade taxes because they’re not counted when being taxed. Like I said, it’s one of the reasons and might not be the only reason.

£4.5M for a piece of cloth? 🤡 Only in a world where history is just another commodity for the ultra-rich to hoard. It’s pathetic that this historic relic has been hidden from the public for 20 years just to surface for a massive payday. Football heritage shouldn't be a billionaire's vanity trophy. 📉💸 #Pele #Auction #FootballHistory #Greed
