According to reports, the boot could be sold for $500,000. Salenko is quoted as saying “I received a good 
offer from the United Arab Emirates.
He also added ” I had a small business but after the global crisis everything is down and I need to payoff some debts. I’m not totally broke or anything like that so I don’t have to sell everything, but the offer was hard to resist”. It is thought that the boot will be on view at a museum in the United Arab Emirates if sold.
Salenko’s international career wasn’t the greatest, he played one game for the Ukraine in 1992, before playing 8 times, scoring 6 goals for Russia. All Salenko’s goals coming in the ’94 World Cup Finals.
