Ex-Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is facing legal action from UK tax authorities due to an unsettled tax debt, court documents reveal.
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) lodged a bankruptcy petition this week, compelling the football pundit to address his financial obligations.
Such petitions are a last-resort measure by the tax office after exhausting all negotiation efforts, indicating prolonged default on payments.
Insiders close to the situation confirm Carragher is actively negotiating a resolution to avoid formal bankruptcy proceedings.
The 48-year-old Merseyside icon enjoyed a storied 17-year career at Anfield, racking up 737 caps and securing European glory in both the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
Since retiring in 2013, Carragher has become a fixture in sports media, delivering expert analysis for Sky Sports and featuring regularly on prominent football podcasts.
His transatlantic appeal sees him frequently providing commentary for US networks, cementing his status as one of football’s most recognizable voices.
