Footballer Raphinha reportedly defrauded by his father

Brazilian footballer Raphinha has reportedly been defrauded by his father, Rafael Belloli, who managed his financial affairs. Reports indicate that the father allegedly appropriated 80% of the player's income derived from image rights and commercial agreements over several years. The issue came to light when the 29-year-old Barcelona player attempted to purchase a home in Barcelona for 10 million euros. During the banking negotiations for the property, the player discovered his financial standing did not match his expectations. Raphinha alleges that his father had not disclosed the true nature of his contracts for years. Following this discovery, the player terminated his working relationship with his father. Currently, the athlete's business affairs are being managed by his father-in-law, Alexandre Madeira, who is a FIFA-licensed agent. The player is also currently dealing with a muscular injury impacting his professional activities.
