A new scandal could rattle Italian football as an unnamed gigolo claims that he is aware of several clients who live a double life, as they come to him for his services.
This could be the start of Gigolopoli, following the Calciopoli scandal of a few years back. It apparently involves players from big clubs, and the national team, too.
Nonetheless it seems unlikely that gigolo will be able to back up his allegations with any evidence when he takes to the television screens tonight, and in any case his approach has been criticised by some as being sensationalist.
Snippets of the interview give a glimpse into the secret life of the supposed gigolo.
"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 tranquillity 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."
Quite what is fair about his taking such stories public when those allegedly involved would rather keep them private has yet to be explained, but perhaps he hopes to remove the stigma of homosexuality from football.
More will be revealed in tonight's program, 'Victory', on La7, where the gigolo is interviewed by Paolo Colombo - without, however, ever revealing the names of his clients.
