Léo Pereira of Flamengo dismisses rumours of alleged arrest, find out more | OneFootball

Léo Pereira states he is 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. The lawsuit, which began in July 2023, revolves around a claim of more than R$ 1 million related to the division of assets. The amount could have led to the athlete's imprisonment, 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 towards his children and has NEVER defaulted on their child support. All payments have been duly made and proven before the courts. The information disclosed does not correspond to the truth. The athlete reaffirms his commitment to transparency and warns that any false publication that affects his honor and that of his family will be subject to the appropriate legal measures,” states Léo Pereira’s advisory regarding possible imprisonment.

What are the rumors?

Initially, Tainá’s claim demanded the payment of R$ 2 million by July 4, 2024, but Léo Pereira allegedly paid only half. Additionally, the player supposedly received, this Thursday (28), a 72-hour deadline to settle a child support debt. If the amount was not paid to his children Matteo and Helena, the defender would be arrested.

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

When did Léo Pereira separate?

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

Does Militão owe anything to Karoline?

While Léo Pereira allegedly owes Tainá, Militão once owed R$ 8,472 to the daughter he had with Karoline Lima. The digital influencer occasionally goes public to demand the amount owed to Cecília from the Real Madrid player.

Will Léo Pereira play?

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