World Cup winner Ronaldinho only has £5 in his bank account

If reports are to be believed, Brazil football legend Ronaldinho is believed to just have five pounds in his bank account.

Shocked? Well, don't be, it actually is possible. Why? Because the World Cup winner has been facing unpaid debts worth 175 million pounds. All this has been accumulating since 2015.

His passport has also been seized on court order as he has a lot of debts to pay. Along with his brother, he apparently remortgaged his property to pay the debts off but it was not enough due to the rising rate of interest.

He has retired from all forms of football and travels for advertising reasons all over the world. Ronaldinho was part of the Brazilian side which won the FIFA World Cup in 2002.
