Samuel Eto’o buys £18.5m Mansion In Italy

Former Chelsea and Everton striker Samuel Eto’o has splashed out a serious amount of money to buy an Italian villa, reports Corriere Dello Sport.

The £18.5million Italian mansion was said to have been bought by Eto’o despite locals warning him it is haunted by the curse of the Tutankhamun.

The Cameroonian footballer has purchased the historic property in Portofino, near Genoa in northern Italy.

The property, called Villa Altachiara, was previously owned by Lord Carnarvon, who was known to be jinxed with the ‘Curse of the Pharaoh’.

The Altachiara mansion, a historic property in Portofino, near Genoa in northern Italy has 40 rooms and 30,000 square-metres of land
