Ex-footballer Maxi López in a tough spot due to viral poll

Former footballer Maxi López was put between a rock and a hard place with two options involving the most important figures from his past, as reported by the Argentine News Agency. 'What do you prefer? To invest in real estate or to have the transfer of a player?', was the first question from Vestuario Stream. 'If it's a player like me, real estate', he replied without hesitation. The second question was about his personal wishes: 'To retire with a million-dollar contract at Boca Juniors or in China?'. Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) – Former footballer Maxi López became one of the most beloved figures by the public after his recent participation in the reality show 'MasterChef Celebrity' and his fun interactions with the host, Wanda Nara. In recent hours, the player went viral when he took part in a trend under the format 'What Do You Prefer?'. 'About 6 or 8 months ago, I moved from England for family reasons, my wife is from Geneva, and as soon as I arrived, I met with the captain of Paradiso, the greyhound Ezequiel Schelotto, with whom I played and is a friend, and he introduced me to the president', he told ESPN in April 2025. 'No, I'm going to China for life', he responded. The other questions were more about his private life, business, and data leaks to the media: 'What do you prefer? For how much you earned in your best contract to be leaked or for your current bank account to be leaked?'. Amid laughter, he revealed he has suffered both: 'Both were leaked, so I don't have, I don't have an option, both'. But the key question was whether he preferred his ex-wife, with whom he had a legal battle for years, or a million-dollar business with Mauro Icardi: 'What do you prefer? To have a hamburger line with Wanda or a million-dollar business with the unnameable?'. 'Uh... Wanda's hamburger', he replied after thinking about it. Finally, they asked him about his investments: 'To invest in a small football club or in a stream?'. 'I already invested in a small club, so let's go with Vestuario Stream', the former footballer concluded. In which club did Maxi López invest According to the Argentine News Agency, the former Barcelona player was referring to FC Paradiso 1917, a club in the Swiss third division, of which he is the majority owner. In April 2025, the former player, through his investment fund Maxco Capital, acquired 40% of the team, located in the Ticino region.
