A viral social media post claimed Barcelona star Raphinha was left nearly bankrupt after discovering his father secretly kept 80% of his image rights earnings. However, there's no solid evidence to prove those claims.
While reports suggest family disagreements over managing Raphinha's business affairs, the dramatic bankruptcy story remains unverified and has been publicly pushed back by those close to him.
Raphinha's wife, Natália Belloli, described the reports as 'absurd' and stated that even if they received just 10% of Raphinha's earnings, they would still be extremely blessed.
Former Brazil international Vampeta also spoke about possible family and financial issues, but described the information as gossip rather than confirmed fact.
Based on the available evidence, the claim that Raphinha secretly lost 80% of his earnings and became bankrupt is not verified.
