Currently, footballers' contracts allow them to make an absorbent expense.
That is why many end up making purchases that surprise us all. Large mansions, luxurious cars,
private jets. Those things are already on the agenda of a global crack. But some players are
not like the rest. And that's why we have established a list of the strangest purchases
of some European football stars. The stars of the world of football are known for their money.
They often live a luxurious life by collecting items that ordinary people cannot even dream of.
However, there is nothing written about taste. And when we talk about a lot of money,
the possibilities are endless. Let's stream together for a minute and put on the boots
of the greatest figures throughout the planet. We count on his fortune, his wives, his good football,
and we lead the life we so often dreamed of having. What would be the weirdest purchases
we would make? For those who do not reach any conclusion, here is a list of ideas based on
soccer players who have played it for the eccentric. Wayne Rooney. The former English
player who recently left professional football bought a horse named Tomway for himself and his
wife. So far, everything is normal. However, after Tomway broke a coach's nose, the footballer
decided to hire a therapist to control his anger. The solution he found was logical, but let's be
honest, it's true. We can't afford to have a horse. But would we pay him a therapist? The answer is
almost certainly no. John Terry. The ex-defender of the Blues, like most players, is not allowed
to perform certain activities, such as skiing, to avoid unnecessary injuries. However, the English
centre-back wanted to spend a weekend skiing with his family, so he bought an imaginary ski vacation
for himself and his family. The footballer was seen running in the mountains instead of skiing.
Mario Balotelli. His camouflaged Bentley and other luxuries that Balotelli gives himself
are well known. Super Mario buys a lot of things. But perhaps one of the most surprising was the pig
that the Italian bought. However, the animal could not travel to the UK when the forwards
signed for Liverpool, unless Balotelli was registered as a breeder. Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish striker sometimes refers to himself as God. In fact, he bought an evangelical church
in Stockholm to end up turning it into an apartment building for underprivileged adults.
Ibrahimovic invested around 11.8 million dollars in purchase of the four-story,
900-square-metre property. Used to being news, both off the field and on, thanks to his strong
personality and controversial statements, Zlatan Ibrahimovic surprised some time ago with an
eccentric gift that the player himself made for Christmas. From Sweden, they say that a forest
was bought in an exclusive area of the Nordic country. He decided to invest in the acquisition
of a forest of more than a thousand hectares of land in the vicinity of his home. According to
the local media, he obtained it in exchange for 3 million euros, with the aim of being able to
hunt and fish in peace, without being disturbed by anyone. Lionel Messi. It is possible that the
case of the Argentine is the funniest of all, and that is that we all have neighbours who are
And this reality was also lived by Lionel Messi for a while. The Barca footballer, annoyed with
the noise and rude behaviour of his neighbour, decided to buy his house and thus enjoy the
tranquility he craved. Messi, also a lover of expensive cars, he owns an Audi R8 Spyder,
a Ferrari F430 Spyder and a Maserati GranTurismo MC Straddle. In addition to those three,
he bought a 1957 Ferrari Sport Spyder Siegletti at an auction for 37 million dollars. A luxury
that can only be afforded by a player who receives more than 100 million euros per year.
Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo is often considered arrogant and vain. When a statue from
the wax museum based on his figure was presented in Madrid, the Portuguese paid 22,000 euros to
have one in Portugal. The statue has its own stylist who makes a visit every month for
maintenance. Cristiano Ronaldo is also known as a great investor in fashion firms, a perfume that
bears his name, gyms and hotels among other businesses. And of course he indulges his own
quirks and hobbies, especially when it comes to watches and cars, for which he is particularly
interested. Its properties are almost uncountable and among them are a mansion in Madrid and another
in Braga, a spectacular apartment in Lisbon and a nightclub called Seven made to his liking in
Algarab. On his home island Madeira, he ordered the construction of a museum displaying his career
and achievements as a footballer. But he is also no stranger to charity work, with several projects
focused on children in poverty in various countries. Didier Drogba. Chelsea hero Didier
Drogba celebrated victory in the 2012 Champions League by buying a 5% stake in the Ivory Coast
gold mine for more than 1 million pounds. At the time the mine produced 800,000 grams. But,
over time, due to the high tax rate on gold, Drogba made little profit from that investment.
Salim Antari. Former Inter and AC Milan midfielder Salim Antari spent nearly 1 million dollars on a
six-wheeled Mercedes Brabus G63 6x6 in 2015. The car was not publicly available and was produced
limited to the military. As a result, the Ghanian player was seen more prominently in the parking
lot where the training ground was being used. Neymar. He is also passionate about expensive
cars and his collection often includes a $114,000 Audi RS7 and a half a million dollar Porsche
Panamera Turbo. One of his most publicised purchases is a nearly $9 million dollar yacht,
an Airbus H145 helicopter and two private jets. He also collects watches, particularly the Gaga
Milano ones. Andres Ionesta. In addition to his earnings as a footballer, we can say that Andres
Ionesta also has entrepreneurial skills. He can boast of having 140 hectares of vineyards in his
homeland, where they produce different types of wine in addition to bringing oils and cheeses to
the market. Perhaps this year, due to the particular situation of the pandemic, there is no greater
difference in relation to what is reported on this subject until last year. It should not be forgotten
that in the world of sports, many players earn high figures for sponsorships of different types,
ranging from sporting goods to soft drinks and robots. All of this boosts their fortunes and
breaks down barriers. By not having anything to spend the money on, it opens up space for
imagination. Their madness is born.
