If the decision concerning the future of Didier Deschamps at the head of the French team is long overdue, one of his former teammates is making headlines today. This is Marcel Desailly. The former defender is the subject of legal proceedings for recognition of paternity according to information from our colleagues at Parisian.
The daily reported in its edition of Saturday January 7, that Cosma Batista de Alcantara, a 39-year-old beautician, shared the life of the 54-year-old man from 2010 before separating a few years later. The latter asks that Marcel Desailly recognize their 8-year-old granddaughter, and that he assumes the responsibilities. “Given all the evidence, I don’t see how he could deny“, explained in particular Me Françoise Rozelaar-Vigier, the lawyer of the young mother.
We also learn that during this relationship, the columnist of Bein Sports repeatedly beat his former girlfriend. A handrail would have been filed on April 18, 2013. In addition, the 1998 world champion and 2000 European champion would also not have come to the birth of his daughter on March 20, 2014. “With hindsight, I think it was so as not to declare it…”did she say.
In 2016, justice recognized that the father of four children was also that of Aïda Mendy, the fruit of an adulterous relationship. “He’s a repeat offender”, added Cosma’s lawyer. A hearing will take place in the coming months.
