The former Barcelona,Chelsea and Cameroon striker , Samuel Eto ' o splashed out a serious amount of money to buy an Italian villa, reports Corriere Dello Sport .
The £18.5million Italian mansion was said to have been bought by Eto'o despite locals warning him
it is haunted by the curse of the Tutankhamun.
The mansion has 40 rooms, a swimming pool and is surrounded by 30,000 square miles of parkland.
According to daily mail
The house is said to be jinxed by the Curse of Tutankhamun because it was the former home of Lord Carnarvon who uncovered the Pharaoh' s tomb .
Soon after discovering the tomb of the boy Pharaoh in Egypt' s Valley of the Kings, Lord Carnavon died from an infected mosquito bite in Cairo 's Savoy Continental Hotel .
This unexpected death, so soon after the tomb had been opened, gave way to the myth that he was cursed for disturbing the Pharaoh's eternal peace.
The legend was perpetuated when
Lord Carnarvon 's nephew died months later after falling down a flight of steps at the villa in Italy.
Then in 2001, former Gucci model and heiress Countess Francesca Agusta ,disappeared from the cliff -top villa now being sized up by the footballer .
