Soccer stars, players and coaches, don't just worry about what they do on the field, but also about the spicy parts of their personal lives.
And just as their names appear in capital letters in the headlines when they sign a big contract, the same happens when a divorce occurs, which usually costs a fortune.
The last link in this chain bears the name of Kyle Walker, the English international defender of Manchester City.
Walker has four children with wife Annie Kilner, but it has been revealed that he has two more with Lorraine Goodman. And after being patient enough, his wife filed for divorce, asking for 50% of his property, which is estimated at 30 million euros.
At the same time, he is also on trial with his girlfriend for keeping the children they had...
But let's see which ex-footballers lost their fortunes after their careers ended combined with their relationships ending.
Emmanuel Eboue had a great career with Arsenal for 7 years and then played a few years in Turkey with Galatasaray. However, the financial control of the house was left to Orel Bertrand's wife, who in 2017 filed for divorce asking for everything and the court decided in her favor!
Two houses, 5 luxury cars and almost all the deposits went to Bertrand, while Eboue now lives on his salary as an academy coach.
One of the shocking divorces was that of Ryan Giggs. The revelation of the Welshman's extramarital affairs (including his brother's wife) led to his wife Stacey filing for divorce in 2017.
The two sides reached an undisclosed deal, but English media report that the former United ace handed over most of the €50m he earned.
We leave England and go to Italy, where the news of Francesco Totti's breakup with Ilari Blasi had exploded like a bomb.
Their marriage in 2005 was a national event and their divorce in 2022, a national disaster.
The two accused each other of infidelity and after not agreeing on the division of property and custody of the children, they were taken to court where new episodes emerged with Totti accusing his ex-wife of taking the cash for his expensive watches, while she accusing him of hiding her collection of luxury bags!
And their rivalry continues even now as they drop comments about each other at every opportunity.
At the peak of his career, he earned 500,000 euros a month, being a key player in Liverpool and the England national team. But in 2005 international goalkeeper David James split from his wife and mother of four Tanya, due to an extramarital affair.
The court ordered him to give 3 million euros to his wife and pay a substantial amount per month in child support (plus household expenses). Except James continued to blow what money he had left on frivolous things, and in 2014 he filed for bankruptcy.
In 2003 Thierry Henry married Claire Marie and in 2005 their first child was born. But in 2007, just before leaving for Barcelona, the French announced their separation.
A few months later, the competent court, in a procedure that lasted only a minute, awarded Meri 12 million euros plus monthly expenses for the needs of the children.
And because such a team also needs a coach, Thomas Tuchel, the current coach of the England National Team, who married Sisi in 2009 and together they had two daughters, appears somewhere here. Sisi left journalism following Tuchel everywhere, but in 2022 the end came.
Tuchel, at the time he was at Chelsea, entered into a relationship with the Brazilian Natalie Guerrero and a month after the separation he made the relationship official. How much did the divorce cost him? A few million plus the house he had bought with Sisi in one of the expensive areas of London.
But for the final we left Ashraf Hakimi, the Moroccan defender of Paris Saint-Germain, who is an exception to the above.
Hakimi was married to model and actress Himba Abuk, but in 2023 a complaint of rape by a young girl surfaced while his family was on vacation. Abouc filed for divorce demanding 50% of her husband's huge fortune, who previously played for Real, Inter Milan, Dortmund, but it turned out in court that he only had a small amount of money to his name!
The crafty Hakim had assigned all his real estate and the proceeds of his gold contracts to his mother, and his wife was forced to make do with the bare necessities.
