Pele's abandoned mansion taken over by nature and left damaged by vandals
Pele's abandoned mansion taken over by nature and left damaged by vandals Content creators filmed the inside of Pele's abandoned mansion after the Brazilian icon's death in 2022 and found the property to be in a significantly run down state Pele passed away at the age of 82 on December 29, 2022 (Image: Getty Images ) Content creators have filmed the interior of Pele's mansion following the football legend's death, revealing the property to be in a state of significant disrepair. The Brazilian superstar rose to fame in 1958 at just 17 years of age when he clinched his first of three FIFA World Cups with Brazil. The forward had an illustrious career, spending 18 years with his childhood club Santos before moving to the United States to play for the New York Cosmos, where he retired in 1977. After hanging up his boots, Pele became a global ambassador for football and supported numerous charitable causes. However, his health took a toll as in 2021, he fell seriously ill and was diagnosed with colon cancer. After undergoing several rounds of chemotherapy, he sadly passed away in December 2022 at the age of 82. His cause of death was multiple organ failure, a complication from his previous cancer diagnosis.

In 2024, influencer Lucas Wesley and two of his content creator friends gained access to the property. Wesley, who uploaded the 90-minute video on TikTok in October 2024 which amassed over 2.5 million views, claimed they were able to enter the property after discovering the garage door slightly ajar. The influencer took to Instagram earlier this month to reshare the footage he'd captured, leading to renewed attention on his discoveries on social media. He relayed that there was no response from within the property and that it appeared vacant. The footage captured the totality of the poor state of Pele's mansion (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) "Getting to know this place and seeing up close everything that once belonged to Pelé is indescribable," Wesley said. "For anyone who is a football fan and knows Pelé's history, they would certainly be moved by everything there, just as we were." Yet, he conveyed his emotional distress upon witnessing the dilapidated state of the property, which is under the care of Pele's son Edinho. "[It was] dirty and vandalised," he lamented. "For us fans, it leaves a truly sad feeling." Pictures featuring the football icon were still seen in the home (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) Wesley's video showcased the garden's football pitch, engulfed in foliage, and a swimming pool beset with algae, imbuing the water with a greenish tinge. Edinho's legal representative, Augusto Miglioli, countered claims that the property is abandoned, asserting it's merely an inheritance from Pele. Significant undergrowth concealed parts of the estate, gates bore the signs of rust, and spiders' webs enveloped corners of the structure. Miglioli issued a stern warning to Wesley and his companions about potential civil and criminal repercussions. Collections of CDs, books and posters were clattered across the floor (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) The bar structure remained standing in the mansion (Image: @lucaoyt/Youtube ) Lawyer Thyago Garcia has clarified the legal definition of an abandoned property, stating that it's not simply about the building being unoccupied or in disrepair. "The mere deterioration, lack of maintenance, or even being unoccupied for a long period of time does not suffice to describe it as legally abandoned," Garcia said. Article continues below He further explained that just because a property can be accessed through unlocked doors or open windows, it doesn't give anyone the right to enter without the owner's permission. Content cannot be displayed without consent "Possession and ownership are protected by law regardless of property condition," he added. The mansion in question, which now stands neglected, was once a vibrant venue where the football legend entertained friends and celebrities in parties and gatherings.

Inside Pele's abandoned mansion with football pitch taken over by nature
Brazilian football legend Pele passed away in 2022, and his once-glorious beach-front mansion was found to be in a dilapidated state by YouTubers two years after his death Content creators filmed the inside of Pele 's mansion following the football icon's death and found the property to be significantly run down. The Brazilian hero came to prominence in 1958 at just 17 years of age when he won his first of three FIFA World Cups with his nation. The forward enjoyed a storied career as he spent 18 years with boyhood club Santos before embarking on a journey in the United States with the New York Cosmos where he retired in 1977. Pele became a worldwide ambassador for the sport and supported numerous charitable causes after his footballing career but fell seriously ill in 2021 when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. After undergoing treatment in the following months, he later died in December 2022 at the age of 82 with his cause of death being multiple organ failure, a complication of his previous cancer diagnosis. The Santos icon's penultimate residence was a million-pound mansion on Pernambuco Beach in Guaruja that included a football field, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a bar. It was in 2024 that the property was entered by influencer Lucas Wesley and two of his content creator friends. Wesley – who posted the 90-minute video on TikTok in October 2024 which garnered over 2.5million views – said he was able to enter the property after finding the garage door slightly open. The influencer reposted the footage he captured on Instagram earlier this month that led to his findings gaining attention on social media once again. He said he nobody had responded inside the property and found it to be empty. "Getting to know this place and seeing up close everything that once belonged to Pelé is indescribable," Wesley said. "For anyone who is a football fan and knows Pelé's history, they would certainly be moved by everything there, just as we were." However, he admitted the poor state the property – which is under the control of Pele's son Edinho – had been left in caused him to feel emotional. "[It was] dirty and vandalised," he claimed. "For us fans, it leaves a truly sad feeling." In Wesley's footage, viewers were able to see the football pitch in the garden that was almost completely taken over by foliage while the swimming pool was ridden with algae, turning the water green. The property being labelled as abandoned is said to be incorrect, according to Edinho's lawyer, Augusto Miglioli, who said the property is not abandoned and is purely an inherited property from his father. Part of the mansion was hidden by the undergrowth that looked to have remained uncut for a considerable amount of time. Rust was prevalent on the gates while cobwebs covered sections of the building. Miglioli had warned Wesley and his two friends that they "will be held civilly and criminally responsible". According to lawyer Thyago Garcia, it is only when the owner of a property expresses a lack of interest in the controlling of the building can it be considered abandoned. "The mere deterioration, lack of maintenance, or even being unoccupied for a long period of time does not suffice to describe it as legally abandoned," Garcia explained. He added that the ability to enter a property through unlocked doors or open windows does not warrant entry from a third-party without the consent of the owner. "Possession and ownership are protected by law regardless of property condition," he continued. The current state of the property is a far cry from it's previous look decades prior where Pele played host to parties at the mansion for friends and celebrities.

Roma make Flamengo's Wesley top priority
Roma are accelerating on the defensive front and is firmly targeting Wesley, Flamengo's right-back and a profile already known to Gian Piero Gasperini from the time he followed him for Atalanta. The Giallorossi coach considers the 21-year-old player an ideal piece for his system. Advertisement According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Wesley is Roma's priority target to strengthen the defense. Despite the constraints imposed by the Settlement Agreement and the need to achieve some capital gains by June 30, the club is intent on making the move. Flamengo values its young talent at around 20 million euros, but the negotiation can only get going after the end of the Club World Cup, a competition that the Brazilian club is currently playing. The player's contractual situation is complex, as often happens for South American footballers. Flamengo only owns 70% of the defender's economic rights, while the remaining 30% belongs to MCL Esporte, the agency that looks after the player's interests.

Lobotka clause, Juve chase Wesley, Hojlund update: transfer news 🤑
The transfer market never stops, and the big clubs, between targets and excess players, are constantly at work. Below are the main news of the day from the major Serie A clubs. Juventus, eyes on Wesley at the Club World Cup According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus's participation in the Club World Cup also represents an opportunity to closely monitor one of the potential reinforcements identified by Damien Comolli for the market. Advertisement As reported by the Rosea, it is Wesley, a 21-year-old right-back from Flamengo, highly appreciated for his technical profile. The Brazilian club is expected to demand a sum around 20 million euros to let him go. Milan, first move for Javi Guerra from Valencia Milan is not limiting itself to experienced profiles like Luka Modric, awaiting the post-Club World Cup, and Granit Xhaka, for whom developments are expected this week. The Rossoneri are also targeting promising young players to strengthen the midfield. Among these stands out the name of Javi Guerra, a Spanish midfielder born in 2002, already a protagonist with Valencia and currently engaged in the U21 European Championship. As reported by Sky Sport, Milan has already made an official offer for the Spanish talent. The proposal includes 16 million in fixed part plus 4 million in bonuses, totaling 20 million euros. However, Valencia seems determined not to go below 25 million to let him go. Inter, Højlund remains the dream: his position Inter is looking for a new striker following the departures of Correa, Arnautovic, and the possible exit of Taremi. Among the names linked to the Nerazzurri, Rasmus Højlund stands out, coming off a complicated season with Manchester United. The Dane is considered an ideal profile to strengthen the offensive department. Advertisement However, according to The Athletic, despite Inter's interest, the former Atalanta player intends to stay in the Premier League. His goal is to convince the English club and carve out more space in the next season. A choice that could complicate the plans of the Milan club. Napoli, the latest on Lobotka's clause Stanislav Lobotka is at the center of Napoli's technical project, which intends to start again with him next season with Antonio Conte on the bench. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Slovak midfielder has a release clause active in the first two weeks of July. It is a figure of 26 million euros, which could attract the interest of other clubs. However, Napoli has already clearly expressed to Lobotka the desire to continue together: no intention of parting with the playmaker who represents a cornerstone for the future. Roma, O'Riley back in the spotlight for the midfield Roma's market is heating up, and among the profiles followed to strengthen the midfield, Matt O'Riley's name stands out once again. The Danish midfielder born in 2000 had already been monitored in the past, and with the arrival of Gian Piero Gasperini on the bench, the interest has reignited strongly. Advertisement As reported by Leggo, however, there is no shortage of competition for O'Riley: Everton is also on his trail. Interestingly, the English club is now controlled by the Friedkin family, the same owners of Roma, an element that adds further interest to the negotiation. Lazio, market stalled: sales needed first Maurizio Sarri is asking for a left-back and a mezzala, but Lazio's market is blocked. As reported by Repubblica, the priority is to sell the excess players before being able to invest. So far, 11 million have come in from the buyouts of Casale and Marcos Antonio. Eleven players need to be placed, including Basic, Cancellieri, and Fares. Burnley has offered 15 million for Tchaouna, while Cataldi remains in the balance. Meanwhile, Sarri and Fabiani will take stock: Fabbian remains the most realistic target, with a possible rekindling of interest in Emerson Palmieri. Fiorentina, Goretti on the way out: possible move to Juventus According to Roberto Goretti is on his way out of Fiorentina. The former Perugia executive is indicated as the main candidate for the role of technical director at Juventus. Advertisement Gazzetta dello Sport highlights how Goretti is one of the few professionals in Italy to have held this position with significant results in recent years, making him a highly appreciated profile in the sector.
