Léo Pereira denies Flamengo arrest rumours, here’s what happened | OneFootball

Léo Pereira claims to be up to date with his ex-wife, who is currently dating Éder Militão

The defender Léo Pereira, from Flamengo, is involved in a legal dispute with his ex-wife, influencer Tainá Castro. This is because the lawsuit, initiated in July 2023, revolves around a claim of over R$ 1 million related to the division of assets. The amount would be a reason for the athlete's arrest, but the number 4 denies any debt.

"In light of the false news published, the athlete reinforces that he is up to date with all obligations in favor of his children, and has NEVER been in default with their alimony. All payments are duly made and proven before the court. The information released does not correspond to the truth. The athlete reaffirms his commitment to transparency and warns that any untrue publication that affects his honor and that of his family will be subject to the appropriate legal measures," says the press office of Léo Pereira about possible arrest.

What are the rumors?

Initially, Tainá's accusation demanded a payment of R$ 2 million by July 4, 2024, but Léo Pereira reportedly only fulfilled half. In addition, the player supposedly received, this Thursday (28), a 72-hour deadline to pay off an alimony debt. If the amount was not paid to the children Matteo and Helena, the defender would go to jail.

It is added that the athlete's ex-wife still claims to have received two cars with pending taxes and fees. According to Tainá Castro, the pending issues made her spend more than R$ 43,000 to regularize the vehicles.

When did Léo Pereira separate?

The defender of Flamengo separated from Tainá in 2023 and, shortly after, started dating Karoline Lima, former girlfriend of player Éder Militão, from Real Madrid (ESP). The defender of the merengue club, on the other hand, started dating the ex-wife of Léo Pereira.

Does Militão owe anything to Karoline?

While Léo Pereira owes Tainá, Militão once owed R$ 8,472 to the daughter he had with Karoline Lima. The digital influencer, every now and then, goes public to charge the Real Madrid player for the amount he owes to Cecília.

Will Léo Pereira play?

If not arrested, Léo Pereira is available to Filipe Luís to face Grêmio this Sunday (31), starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will bring the details of the confrontation with coverage on YouTube.
