Not independently verified: The napkin story first appeared in Minguella's 2008 book.
Reported parallel monthly contract of about EUR 4,000 / US$4,000 attached to the January 2001 agreement — not independently verified
The apartment and Jorge Messi's employment at the club as terms of the January 2001 arrangement — disputed interpretation

Participant memoir covering 1998-2001. NOT RETRIEVED: no accessible excerpt or preview of the napkin passage was located, so the claim that the book is the story's first appearance cannot be confirmed. Marked NOT independent: the author is a co-participant with Gaggioli in the same events, so the two corroborate each other without being independent.
