Ex Milan legend Cafu forced to sell the €7.5 million ‘super villa’: the reason?… Really unexpected.”

According to the Brazilian portal Uol, the former Roma full-back is losing the house that features 6 suites, a pool, a football field, and a cinema room.

Trouble is on the horizon for Cafu, the former full-back of Roma and Brazil. According to the Uol portal, his luxurious villa in São Paulo has been put up for auction for around €4.7 million (although its real value is approximately €7.5 million) due to an old unpaid debt. A really tough reason for the ex World Cup winner to lose a huge asset and the place where he lived.

The property, located in the Alphaville Residencial, comprises: 6 suites, a pool, a football field, a cinema room, a game room, and a sauna – all on a 2,581 square meter plot. Cafu has 45 business days to vacate his residence due to the lingering debt after previous auctions went unanswered.”

Cafu and the Old Debt

The order to auction the property, according to Uol, was issued following a collection action initiated in February 2018 against a company associated with Cafu. The former full-back attempted to avoid losing his villa by asserting that he lives there with his family and intends to settle the debt. However, the judges did not grant his request.
