Italian Gigolo Outs Serie A Players

(Post best served with this soundtrack – and it even has a footy reference.)

Another day, another potential scandal in Italy. Luckily this one’s a whole hell of a lot juicier than Calciopoli, and one which has been teed up right into the wheelhouse of the Italian papparazzi.

An unnamed Serie C footballer has come out and said that, with Lega Calcio not exaclty offering up top tier wages, he’s been moonlighting as a manwhore (an expensive one at that….I think). Kicker is he’s manwhoring for other players, including some in Serie A and even a few on the Azzurri. Cue pandemonium.

It should be said these are claims which have, as of yet, no confirmed truths. Truths which could probably destroy the lives of some involved were they to ever get out.

From the horse’s mouth:

“It’s €1,500 Euros for a few hours,” revealed the footballer, who also plays professionally in Serie C.

“The players pay without any problem. I often meet them at a hotel, on Sunday evening after the game, in the only moment of tranquility that they have.

“They ask to relax and have no problem with being kissed on their mouth. However, they are afraid, actually terrorized by the idea of being discovered.

“With one of them I met in the dark, outside Milan – I don’t know who he was. The deal was that everything had to be done with the lights off.”

His girlfriend does not know anything about his double life and that is why he wants to keep his identity hidden.

“I sell my performances to players from important teams,” he continued. “I have around 30 footballers as clients and a dozen of them are from Serie A.

“There are some, but not many, who are part of the national team and are even married. On three occasions they asked to make love in a group with more players of the same team, but also with friends from opposing squads.

“Many of them are bisexual. In Italy, no player will admit that he’s gay, at least not now. There are too many social conditions – maybe that’s fair.”

The part about the extra special post-game opposing team handshakes was unnecessary, but I think you get the point: apparently there’s another post-game spread, this one invite only. This isn’t your run of the mill “oops, I slipped in the shower…and again” type tomfoolery.

No names, but everyone’s going to speculate. Especially for the Azzurri lads, who surely are the most well-known of the lot. Not us. (coughcassanocough)

If you are said random Serie C player, might your friends at The Offside (not that good, it should be said) make a strong recommendation? Find a good witness protection program. Can’t say I’d bat an eye if I hear the body of a pretty boy Lega Calcio player was found floating in a river in the near future.
