According to Le Parisien, De Alcantara would ask the former midfielder for 5 thousand euros a month. A sum that Marcel considers himself incapable of repaying, because it is in ruins. Desailly, the newspaper reports, until 2022 received 8,600 euros a month from the broadcaster BeIN Sports, but since 2009, emoluments from companies based in France and Ghana, where he was born and where he lives, would no longer appear in tax returns. Precisely this lack of income caused an assessment in 2022, which revealed an obligation to repay 5,000 euros per month to the French tax authorities. The genetic certainty of Victoria’s paternity arrived last November. Victoria is Desailly’s second daughter – confirmed – born out of wedlock: in 2014 a court in Toulouse had bound him to the paternity of Aida, born in 1990. Cosma Batista de Alcantara declared that he does not believe in any way in Marcel’s financial misfortunes. The dispute will now go to court.
