An auction house tasked with selling some 90 items owned by the late football icon Diego Maradona announced on Monday it was extending the deadline to submit bids after the most expensive pieces were unsold.

Sunday’s virtual auction failed to attract any big bidders with the largest single offer of USD 2,150 for a painting of the former World Cup winner by artist Lu Sedova. But the Buenos Aires house the former Barcelona and Napoli star gave to his parents, put up for a minimum USD 900,000, was one of many items that did not find a buyer.
Two BMW cars, listed at a combined USD 390,000 and a seaside apartment in Mar del Plata (USD 65,000) also remained without a bid. The three-hour auction brought in just USD 26,000 with more than USD 1.4 million in assets unbid on, according to calculations.
Auction house Adrian Mercado Group decided to extend the bid time due to the number of bidders that did not manage to register by the deadline on Saturday.
