Roberto Carlos: I lost all the money I earned from football

In the late 2000s he was one of the best defenders in the world. Roberto Carlos won everything with the Real Madrid shirt and the Brazilian national team. At the time he was among the highest-paid players, but it seems the mistakes made along the way have brought major financial consequences for the Brazilian star.

“I had problems with people who emptied my bank account. Because of agents and family issues, I lost 99% of everything I had earned from football.

I made mistakes and that’s why I urge younger players not to repeat them. I had a serious problem with my former agent. I had a very serious family matter.”

These were the words of Roberto Carlos, the former Real Madrid star, during his participation in the “Portugal Football Summit.”
