[Saba Sports News] According to UK reports, Napoli player Scott McTominay invested in a company run by his girlfriend and her father, resulting in a failed investment and a loss of £2.32 million. Reports suggest that McTominay borrowed £1 million cash and £1.32 million from his own investment company to invest in the girlfriend and her father’s company. Now, the girlfriend and her father’s company has entered bankruptcy proceedings, owing about £20 million in debt. It is understood that the liquidator has informed investors including McTominay that they are unlikely to recover their money. Notably, for every £1 invested by investors, they received only 3 pence in return. This means that McTominay invested £2.32 million but only earned £66,000 in returns. At present, McTominay’s girlfriend has been ordered to surrender two apartments in Dubai as well as a Spanish villa, and she and her father face fraud charges. One wonders how McTominay feels now.
