Az önce @Cristiano ile konuştum.
Türkiye’de yaşananlara çok üzüldüğünü söyledi. Ronaldo’nun koleksiyonumdaki imzalı formasını açık artırma usulüyle satışa çıkarıyoruz.
Açık artırmadan elde edilecek gelirin tamamı deprem bölgesinde kullanılmak üzere @ahbap ‘a bağışlanacaktır. pic.twitter.com/OwnU93oShJ
