Some clubs are now monitoring the residence of players
The burglar(s) broke into the TFC player’s home. Investigations are underway to try to find fingerprints, says France Bleu. According to local radio, there would be no arrests as of Thursday afternoon.
Thefts from the homes of football players during matches are frequent and PSG players have been targeted. In March 2021, the burglary of Angel Di Maria, during a PSG-Nantes meeting, extended the long list of break-ins targeting Parisian players. Mauro Icardi, Sergio Rico, Marquinhos, Choupo-Moting, Thiago Silva were also robbed between 2018 and 2021.
Some clubs have put in place surveillance devices for players’ homes during matches, according to a police source.
