Everyone argues over the amount Ronaldo and Messi earns at the top of their voices and reach an inconclusive conclusion every time but no one argues the amount of debt these same footballers run into at the latter part of lives. Managing the huge financial resources from soccer has become a burden to some African players.

 

These players, during their career, earn big. However, at the twilight of their profession, they end up extremely broke. Some are as a result of poor investment decisions. And for some mainly due to social life. In this article, we take a look t on some of Africa’s brightest soccer talents who ended up broke after retirement.
