ARGENTINE international Exequiel Palacios’ angry ex is threatening to sell his World Cup winner’s medal.

Yesica Frias says she will auction off the 25-year-old Bayer Leverkusen midfielder’s prized memorabila including the medal he won in Qatar unless he pays the mortgage on an apartment she is living in.

The stunning 30-year-old, now back in their homeland after leaving Germany, told an Argentinian TV programme: “Exequiel told me he wasn’t going to pay what was owing because he didn’t know if he’d get to keep the flat or not.

“I’m only asking him to sign the divorce and give me what I’m due for the things we did together.”

Threatening to sell off memorabilia her ex had gifted her since they met in a Buenos Aires nightclub in 2018 while he still played for River Plate, Yesica added: “It’s what I’m going to do.

“I’m going to auction off everything to pay for the property if I have to.

“I have some shirts which Exequiel gave me and there’s some other very valuable things like his World Cup winner's medal.

“Push comes to shove I’d sell the most important things he’s got as a footballer to clear the debt because I need a roof over my head.

“I try to work but I was with him for five years.”

Her Instagram story today shows the auctioning has already began.

She posted a photo of her posing with a man who had bought a signed Palacios match worn shirt from the 2022 World Cup.

The caption read: "The buyer of the first shirt."

So the countdown until the World Cup medal is gone appears to be on.

In a previous tell-all interview earlier this year Yesica claimed her ex-partner’s family treated her like dirt and accused the footballer of cheating on her with another woman.

She said: “I don’t hate Exequiel, I loved him a lot. But all the love for him that I had evaporated because he disappointed me as a person.”

Rocio Hrabar, the model Yesica accused of being the third person in her marriage, has accused Palacios’ ex of using her as a scapegoat in her divorce.

She has insisted the footballer told her he was separated when she spent a night at his house before being surprised by Yesica and ordered to leave.

Palacios, currently out injured, is expected to be ready to play for his country in two friendlies in March in China which have been organised as preparation for the Copa America this summer.

He has been capped 28 times by Argentina since making his debut for the national squad in September 2018.
