Jorge was buried in a private ceremony in the city of Peries near his hometown of Rosario, in the presence of his family. Fans expressed their support through messages and tributes. Jorge was a pivotal figure in Lionel Messi’s life and career; he was his first agent and mentor, leaving a stable job in Argentina to accompany his son to Spain, where he negotiated his lucrative contracts.
