Italian football legend Francesco Totti is set for a bitter legal battle with his ex-wife Ilary Blasi after it was claimed that she stole his collection of Rolex watches.

Totti, who spent his whole 24-year career at Roma, scoring 307 goals in 786 games, announced he had split from Blasi in July. The pair were married for 17 years and Totti has three children with the former showgirl and TV presenter.

Last month, he claimed his marriage had broken down because Blasi did not support him following his retirement from football and when his father passed away due to Covid-19.

The 45-year-old retired from the sport in 2017 and has admitted he struggled to cope without being on the pitch.

During those challenging times, he feels his wife was not there to comfort him. Totti has also claimed Blasi cheated on him which impacted his mental health.

But it has also now been suggested in a report from Corriere della Sera that Blasi stole Totti's Rolex watches, which resulted in him hiding her handbags.
