- Frías also sold the World Cup gold medal that was awarded for Palacios and says she is planning on selling all of his left over jerseys to pay off the home
The estranged Argentine wife of Bayern star Exequiel Palacios has sold his World Cup memorabilia to pay off the debt on the couple’s apartment in Argentina amid a nasty divorce dispute.
Yesica Frías, 30, revealed Wednesday that she sold the jersey Palacios, 24, wore in Argentina’s convincing victory over France to capture the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The same buyer also purchased the gold medal the striker received on the podium after Argentina won its third World Cup and first since 1986.
It’s unclear how much both items fetched.
Frías posted a photo of her and the buyer on her Instagram Story posing with Palacio’s signed jersey and reposted a picture that the man shared on his own account showing off the medal.

The model told Argentine television network El Trece that she was forced to put up the World Cup keepsakes for sale after Palacios had stopped making payments at the home in Tigre, a city just north of Buenos Aires.
‘He doesn’t want to finish paying for the apartment because he didn’t know if it was going to be his or not,’ Frías said.
DailyMail.com reached out to Frías and Palacios for comment.
Frías and Palacios first met in 2018 and eloped in 2021.
The couple separated in April 2023 after Frías claimed in an Instagram Story post they decided to go their separate ways ‘because he showed me what he really is. I was with him in his worst moment and he let go of my hand in mine.’

‘I want him to sign the divorce,’ she said. ‘I only ask him for what belongs to me, not even the marital assets he has in Germany.’
Frías claimed she has revealing information that would shake the Argentine World Cup winning squad.
‘It is convenient for him that I remain silent,’ she said. ‘There are things I know about the National Team that I didn’t say.’
