Neymar ‘slid into DMs’ of glam Olympics star Luana Alonso before her ‘inappropriate behaviour’ row at Paris games
GLAMOUROUS swimming star Luana Alonso has revealed Brazilian footballer Neymar is a fan.
The Paraguayan athlete, who was kicked out of the Olympic village, recently revealed the Brazilian attacking midfielder slid into her DMs on Instagram.
She told Paraguayan radio show Aire de Todos: “He sent me a DM. That’s all I can say.”
The revelation shocked the presenters who pressed the Olympic athlete to reveal the contents of the message.
She added: “It was left on the request form.
“I cannot tell this here.”
Alonso has previously declared that she is a fan of Neymar. In 2022 the Paraguayan swimmer shared that the footballer had reacted to one of her photographs on social media,
The glamorous swimming sensation recently made headlines at the Paris Olympic games after a row over her “innapropriate behaviour.”
The Paraguayan athlete insisted she is a victim of “lies” after it was reported that she was banished from the Paris 2024 Athletes’ Village over her behaviour and visiting Disneyland.
It was claimed Alonso was “distracting” fellow competitors in the Athletes’ Village and was wearing racy outfits rather than her official Olympic uniform.
Bosses at the Paraguayan Olympic Committee were left furious over Alonso’s behaviour, with reports suggesting they booted her out and sent her back home.
A statement chief Larissa Schaerer read: “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay.
“We thank her for proceeding as instructed, as it was of her own free will that she did not spend the night in the Athletes’ Village.”
However, Alonso said she was never kicked out or expelled from the country’s Olympic campaign – and asked not to spread the misinformation.
In a social media post, she said: “I just wanted to clarify that I was never kicked out or expelled from anywhere, please stop spreading false information. “
Alonso currently lives in the US where she attends the Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
She is also a swimmer for the local team Dallas Mustangs.
After failing to progress past the women’s 100m butterfly heats in the Summer Games campaign by a mere 0.24 seconds, Alonso called time on her career and announced her retirement.
She told her 310,000 Instagram followers: “It’s official now! I’m retiring from swimming, thank you all so much for the support.
“Sorry Paraguay, I only have to thank you!”
Alonso, who competed at the Tokyo Games at the age of 17, also furiously hit back at reports she was kicked out of the Paris Olympics over “inappropriate behaviour”.
Since the controversy, Alonso has shared snippets of her luxurious lifestyle on social media.
Her Instagram account boasts an ultra-rich lifestyle with trips across the world, designer shopping and eating at the best restaurants.
A casual selfie shook users, showing her smiling with world-famous tennis champion Rafael Nadal.
Another mirror selfie shows Alonso in what looks to be an old mansion with pictures with gold frames adorning the walls and vintage furniture dotted around the room.
Other posts show her holidaying in mega-rich destinations like Qatar and Cancun, Mexico.
