A woman identified as Adileusa filed a lawsuit in 2018 alleging that Samuel Eto’o was the biological father of her daughter.
It was alleged that Eto’o met the woman in Madrid back in 1997 when he was on loan at Leganes from Real Madrid.
A nightstand in 1997 has gotten Cameroonian football legend Samuel Eto’o a daughter 22 years after.
The pair’s brief romance led to a baby, who was born in 1999, and years later, the courts have determined that the girl is Eto’o’s biological daughter.
And the revelation comes at a cost.
A Madrid court on Thursday said the Barcelona former striker fathered Erika Do Rosario Nieves, a Spaniard.
Eto’o now 40, did not attend the court proceeding since the woman filed the suit in 2018, but Fernando Osuna, who was in charge of the legal representation of Nieves’ lawsuit, has informed him.
The mother said she tried to communicate With to h the former Chelsea attacker about the pregnancy, but she did not answer her phone calls or emails.
The woman said she had biological evidence that supported her testimony, which made the judge admit the claim.
Eto’o, who allegedly broke off contact with the woman in 1998, has never engaged the court at any point during proceedings and was absent when a ruling was made on Thursday, February 17 2022.
The court ordered Eto’oo to stay Nieves 1,400 euros per month, starting from 2018 when the case was filed.
