A Juventus fan, feeling frustrated, has garnered bids reaching up to 10 million euros ($12.3 million) through an eBay listing promoting the services of Amauri.
The team from Turin has struggled to find a new home for the unwanted forward, who transferred from Palermo in 2008 for €22.8 million but has since fallen out of favor with manager Antonio Conte.
Amauri, currently earning €70,000 per week at Juventus despite not having played a single match this season, has seen potential transfers to Genoa and Fiorentina fall through. This led one supporter to take the unusual step of creating an eBay auction to sell him.
Just prior to its removal by the auction site, the listing had received 78 bids, with a top offer of €10 million leading the competition.
Moreover, Amauri’s listing promised free shipping and an estimated delivery time of four business days, while stating that no refunds would be accepted.
The winner of the auction would also have received a bonus in the form of Juve’s full-back, Paolo De Ceglie.
