Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Merih Demiral, a Turkish football player for Italy’s Atalanta, on Friday said that he auctioned Lionel Messi’s signed, match-worn Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) shirt for the Turkish earthquake victims.<\/p>\n

Demiral said that all proceeds from the sale will be donated to Turkish NGO Ahbap to be used in the quake zone.<\/p>\n

He added that the bidding will be closed on Saturday at 1900GMT as the offers can be made via Twitter and e-mail.<\/p>\n

Turkish international Demiral also thanked his compatriot Hakan Calhanoglu, an Inter Milan midfielder, and PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for reaching out to the Argentine forward.<\/p>\n

Demiral, 24, previously auctioned shirts of his former teammates, Cristiano Ronaldo, Leonardo Bonucci and Paulo Dybala, for charity and sold the jerseys for 5 million Turkish liras or around $265.500.<\/p>\n

A famous Turkish rock music singer, Haluk Levent, 54, founded the voluntary network “Ahbap” in 2017 to help people in need.<\/p>\n

At least 19,388 people were killed and 77,711 others injured by two strong earthquakes that jolted southern Tu\u0308rkiye on Monday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The magnitude 7.7 and 7.6 earthquakes, centered in Kahramanmaras province, affected more than 13 million people across 10 provinces, including Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, and Sanliurfa.<\/p>\n
