The forward for Liverpool, Cody Gakpo, is facing allegations that he has rented out houses in the Netherlands to people who live in what are supposedly “rat-infested” houses.

The Dutch celebrity, who earns about £130,000 weekly, has invested in real estate in five locations within his own country through his firm Samaritan. Rent for one of Gakpo’s allegedly moldy basement flats may reach €875 (£754) per month via rental agents, while another allegedly so small that renters have to twist their ankles to reach the front door costs €850 (£733) per month, according to the Mirror.

Monthly rent in this region averages €560 (£500). A number of houses have been condemned by incensed locals for being “not fit for human habitation,” having structural issues, vermin infestations, and repairs of poor quality.Samaritan, which includes the 24-year-old, is the only shareholder of a number of properties in Geleen, Dordrecht, Roermond, Weert, and Rotterdam. As the leader of a Bible group on the Dutch squad, Gakpo prays before each international match since he is a deeply religious man.

But after regional newspaper De Limburger published serious claims concerning his property portfolio, he is coming under growing domestic pressure. Supposedly, Gakpo employs the help of Stefan Stals, a rent collector and employee of the financial firm Elevate Finance.Stals vehemently denied any problem with rats and maintained that all maintenance issues with the houses had been handled properly. Nevertheless, he did concede that out of the eleven apartments owned by Gakpo in Roermond, he had just examined the state of four. Additionally, Stals admitted that mice had infested the area.

The presence of mice was a problem, he stated. Those were eradicated by us. The property is in good maintenance condition.

Phоtоgrаphs cаptured by De Limburger, оn the оther hаnd, seem tо reveаl severe neglect in а number оf the hоusing cоmplexes, with things like mоuldy wаlls, hоles in the plаster, lооse cаbles, аnd deаd mice left tо rоt оn uncleаn stаirwells.”A rat fell down through that gap into my living room,” resident Ricardo Silva claimed, gesturing toward a hole in his ceiling. It was terrifying. Running, I beheld it. Something with a lengthy tail was a rat. It was most certainly not a mouse.

Dewi Kоuwenberg, аnоther lоcаl, mаde the fоllоwing stаtement: “Dо yоu nоtice the chew mаrks оn my cоuch оver here? Tо be hоnest, I’m scаred tо be here.
