Dad or not? Justice forces former Blues captain Marcel Desailly to take a DNA test

He is being sued by his ex-partner, Cosma Batista de Alcantara, who demands that he recognize the paternity of a little girl, Victoria, aged 9, and that he pay her alimony of 5,000 euros per month. Former captain of the French football team Marcel Desailly will have to undergo a paternity test within 6 months, according to Le Parisien, which reports a court decision handed down on March 12, 2024.

Is Victoria, 9 years old, the daughter of Marcel Desailly?

He who already had a first daughter born out of wedlock, will now have to compare his DNA to that of the little girl born in 2014, at the time when he was in a relationship with Cosma Batista de Alcantara, since their relationship would have lasted from 2009 to 2018. Furthermore, while Marcel Desailly remained married to Virginie, the mother of his 4 legitimate children until 2021, he moved in with Cosma in 2010 in Paris, before moving, still with her, to Boulogne-Billancourt , in 2016.

Today, Marcel Desailly resides in Ghana, and Cosma Batista from Alcantara, in Spain. She blames her ex for not having seen Victoria since 2021, and for no longer supporting her financially, or only irregularly.

“I’m with dad! Hello!”

If Marcel Desailly denies being Victoria’s dad, her mother claims to have in her possession a video showing him with the little one in his arms, which says: “I’m with dad! Cuckoo !” The child’s mother also assures that she would have in her possession dozens of documents proving the former footballer’s proximity to Victoria. For his part, he believes that Victoria is his partner’s daughter. Furthermore, the former international who played for Milan and Chelsea revealed that he was insolvent.
