Be careful who you marry, Argentina‘s Exequiel Palacios is learning that the hard way as his ex-wife Yésica Frías has taken to social media to auction off her former husband and current Bayer Leverkusen midfielder’s World Cup mementos.

Palacios is in the process of divorcing Frias who will not sign the proper documents as she is not happy with her former husband’s economic offer. According to Marcia Frisciotti, Palacios is the one who seeked the divorce after Frias had “overstepped boundaries between Palacios and his family”.

According to the report, only a week after getting married, Frias purchased various apartments in the name of Palacios and now is seeking Palacios to pay the remaining fees, when it was her who did the whole buying process. The breaking point of the marriage was in Qatar during the World Cup, where Frias spent lavish amounts of money and traveled in first class, while forcing the Palacios family to travel in economy and having to endure various connecting flights to make the tournament.
