WHAT NEXT?
Palmer could break another record in the process, with five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo in his sights. The mark for most expensive shirt sold by MatchWornShirt stands at €43,000 (£36,000) – with a CR7 jersey from his second spell at Manchester United fetching that price. A flurry of late bids could see Palmer soar above that.
