Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has sent a special gift for the West Bengal chief minister - a signed Barcelona jersey, with "DIDI".
The signature blue and red number 10 jersey has been worn by players like Diego Maradona, Romario and Ronaldinho.
Lionel Messi sent the signed club jersey for Ms Banerjee via Barcelona Legends last week. The team came to Kolkata last Friday for a friendly match against Bengal's own Mohun Bagan.
FC Barcelona Legends Juliano Belletti and Jari Litmanen handed over the jersey to the Football Next Foundation organizers after the match.
"They couldn't hand it over to Ms Banerjee personally, so they gave it to us. We have approached the CMO. Whenever Ms Banerjee agrees to meet us, we will hand it over to her," Kaushik Moulik, founder of the football foundation, said.
