There are few soccer players who can excel in another field once they become stars or figures in a team or a league. In any case, there are several who try to have a company, but over time they fall.

One of the French footballers who looked the best at the beginning of his career had a break after the defeat in the Champions League with FC Barcelona in the 2005 season, and from there, his career generated an abrupt change that entered a downward slide, leading him to have to dedicate himself to other businesses outside of football.

Mathiu Flamini had a more than promising career defending the colors of Arsenal and also of AC Milan, where he came to earn 30 million, but that Champions League defeat marked his turning point and from then on he was never the man again. same. He had a stint at Getafe, Crystal Palace and Leganés until he decided to retire to dedicate himself fully to the sale of medicines.

As the richest soccer player in the world and not precisely for earning salaries inside a soccer field. In total, his fortune due to the remedies is valued at 30 billion euros and he could buy himself from the main clubs in Europe if he wanted to.

What other soccer players are entrepreneurs?

The case of Mathiu Flamini is not the only one involving a soccer player linked to business. Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta, Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, David Beckham and Gareth Bale are some of the examples of international stars that they have made.
