Júlio César reveals long-running bank debt after deception by an agent in 2012 | OneFootball

Former Benfica goalkeeper Júlio César used the Portugal Football Summit to urge financial education, revealing a bank debt that has lasted almost 15 years after an agent deceived him in 2012.

According to Glorioso 1904, he was a surprise addition at the start of day two, joining Roberto Carlos on a panel about building a brand and legacy beyond the pitch.

The 47-year-old said a lack of knowledge can be especially costly for athletes and called for better preparation for life after football. He is now involved in business.

He noted he faced an issue similar to one discussed by Roberto Carlos, saying he was harmed by a former representative due to weak financial and contractual preparation.

César said he still owes the bank because of that episode, explaining that documents were signed out of trust and that he ended up disadvantaged.

The former Brazil international also played for Inter Milan and ended his career with Flamengo in 2018.
