Samuel Eto'o has been declared as the biological father of 22-year-old woman Erika Do Rosario Nieves, as per the Mirror.
Madrid court delivered the verdict on Thursday, concluding a legal process that began in 2018. Eto'o was not present in court.
Eto'o must pay an allowance of €1,400 per month to the young woman, the source notes.
The woman's mother, Adileusa, reportedly met Eto'o at a nightclub in Madrid in 1997 when Samuel played for Leganes. In February 1998, the woman found out she was pregnant.

Eto'o is said to have told the woman that 'he would act responsibly with respect to the common child, although he preferred that she did not give birth to the child'. Adileusa reportedly tried to communicate with the player during her pregnancy but he ignored her calls and emails.
