In an unexpected twist to the ongoing saga surrounding Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso, it has been reported that Brazilian football star Neymar has privately messaged the athlete.
Alonso, who recently faced expulsion from the Paris Olympic Village for alleged “inappropriate behavior,” disclosed the information during an interview on Paraguayan television show Aure de Todos.
The 20-year-old swimmer, who gained notoriety for her striking presence and controversial posts on social media, revealed that Neymar reached out to her via direct message.
Alonso, who was eliminated from her competition and subsequently asked to leave the Olympic Village, mentioned in her interview, “He did shoot me a DM, that is all I can say. The message remains in the unread messages bin. I can’t tell you more than that here.” This statement has further fueled speculation and curiosity regarding the content and intent of Neymar’s communication.
Alonso’s expulsion from the Olympic Village was officially attributed to “inappropriate behavior.” The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed that Alonso was dismissed from the premises after she re-entered the village following her elimination. The swimmer, who had become a viral sensation due to her revealing attire and striking looks, announced her retirement from the sport shortly after her removal.
While the IOC has not provided specific details about the nature of Alonso’s behavior, rumors and speculation have abounded. Some reports suggest that Alonso was found behaving erratically, while others have claimed she was under the influence of substances.
More sensational accounts even allege she was seen running naked around the village, though these claims remain unverified.
Neymar, known for his high-profile lifestyle and romantic interests, has faced criticism for allegedly focusing on personal pursuits rather than his professional commitments. The 32-year-old footballer, who is preparing for the upcoming season of the Saudi Pro League, has yet to comment on the allegations regarding his interaction with Alonso.
