The apartment of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was broken into by thieves for the second time in a month, a police source said on Tuesday.
Thieves last month escaped with jewels and handbags worth more than 500,000 euros (US$569,324) while Choupo-Moting was playing for PSG against Liverpool in the Champions League.
On Monday, Choupo-Moting was again targeted, as burglars reportedly forced open the door of his apartment in Paris and then fled after setting off an alarm.
