Roberto Carlos said he lost 99% of everything he earned from football.
The former Real Madrid full-back said this at the Portugal Football Summit in Lisbon, while talking about his financial problems. A side of football that is rarely discussed.
“I had problems with people who emptied my bank account. On Thursday, I went to bed at midnight, and on Friday I received a pile of documents I knew nothing about. That’s when I realized I had lost my entire past”.
Goal estimates that his career earnings totaled around 160 million euros. And now, based on his latest statements, all of that may have been used up.
