…and the (not-so-squeaky clean) soccer star set to earn £600,000 A WEEK!
BACK home he played barefoot in the street and was known as the squirrel because of the speed with which he climbed trees to retrieve footballs.
Today it is expected that Alexis sanchez – the boy from a mining town in northern Chile – will start earning £600,000 a week as England’s best-paid soccer star. But, if reports this weekend are true, he has already fallen into the louche lifestyle of the modern footballer far away from home and his girlfriend.
As he boarded a private jet to further his big-money transfer to Manchester united, the Arsenal star faced claims that he had picked up a student in a bar and offered her £1,000 for sex in his opulent flat. sanchez, who is dating actress Mayte Rodriguez, allegedly sent 20-year-old paulina sobierajska a series of WhatsApp messages, including one reading: ‘Ok baby see you later? How much would it cost to make love with you?’
The 29-year-old is said to have paid her £1,000 in £20 notes before performing a striptease as they sipped pink champagne in his Kensington apartment.
Miss sobierajska told The sun: ‘Alexis hugged me and offered me champagne. He gave me a striptease. He took off his top and danced for me for the fun of it.’ she said she stopped seeing him shortly before Christmas when she saw a picture of him kissing his girlfriend online.
sanchez’s riches could hardly be more removed from his own beginnings. His mother sold fish to scrape a living and he played football barefoot until he was 15 when the local mayor gave him a pair of Reeboks.
Within three years he had become the youngest ever player to play for Chile.
Reports in Chile suggest Miss Rodriguez will join sanchez in Manchester when she has finished filming her current TV series.
