The player: Maxi López

Máximo Gastón López, known as Maxi López (Buenos Aires, April 3, 1984), is an Argentine forward who played over twenty years of professional football in Argentina, Spain, Russia, Italy, and Brazil. Having grown up at River Plate, he wore the jerseys of Barcelona, Mallorca, FC Moscow, Catania, and Milan before joining Sampdoria in the summer of 2012, where he proudly chose the number 10 jersey. With the Blucerchiati, he was immediately appreciated by the Genoese fans for his combative character and offensive qualities, scoring 4 goals in 17 appearances in the 2012/13 season, hampered by a serious meniscus injury that limited his consistency. Truly fond of Sampdoria, Maxi López returned to the Blucerchiati in the 2013/14 season, this time with the number 7. His personal story — also marked by a romantic affair of great international media resonance — made his name known far beyond the confines of football, increasing the collectible value of all his authentic memorabilia.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a specific player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version in a series of precise technical characteristics: personalization with the player's name and number, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
