The prostitute who sold her story after allegedly having sex with Wayne Rooney has had a 'brief involvement' with Manchester City ace Mario Balotelli, his agent said today.
Jennifer Thompson and
another call girl were linked with Manchester United star Rooney before
England’s World Cup campaign in 2010.
The fling, which
happened at the time Rooney's wife Coleen was pregnant with their son, Kai,
shamed the striker and in following months he suffered a devastating drop in
form on the pitch.
Balotelli's agent Mino
Raiola said that the Italian striker had turned down offers of an arrangement
to keep the liaison with Miss Thompson secret
Balotelli is not married
but has been seeing Italian reality TV star Raffaella Fico since last summer.
Mr Raiola said in a
statement: 'Mario is a young and impulsive football player and as such he is an
easy target for tabloids looking for stories and people seeking to benefit from
being associated with him.
'Lately I feel that the
chase has become more purposeful and women, in particular, are targeting Mario
looking to make money from him directly or by selling stories to newspapers
that relate to situations which they have intentionally pursued.
'It now seems that one
of these women has succeeded and the newspapers have their story.
'In this regard, we
therefore wish to confirm that Mario has had a brief involvement with Miss
Jennifer Thompson, a well-known figure amongst tabloid readers in England.
'Mario prefers to admit
what has happened, has refused any means on offer to try to keep the matter
silent and will deal with any consequences his actions bring in the way of
public attention.
'However, he prefers to
deal with his personal life in private and had told those close to him about
this situation prior to any suggestion of this matter becoming public.'
