Le Iene return to football. No investigation into the referees this time, but a prank call to 50 famous footballers. Sebastian Gazzarini and an actress faked a multimillion-dollar proposal from a proxy company from Arabia with a salary of 30 million per season. Of the 50 contacted, only 12% said no, while 88% accepted and asked for more information to discuss with their attorneys. Among the no’s, Mattia Zaccagni’s stands out as he immediately stops the proposal and vows his love for Lazio. The Biancoceleste winger immediately says: “No, look, I’m fine, I’m happy like this for now.”
Together with the biancoceleste 20, the no’s stand out Bernardeschi, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Perin and Simeone. The Argentine striker, also linked to Lazio, said: “It’s not my thought now to go to Arabia. At the moment I’m not interested in money, I’m in a moment where I’m thinking about making my career in Europe”. The majority, 88%, said they were interested but only Balotelli, Jorginho, Sensi and Bonaventura they agreed to spread their yes to the proposal and to the dissemination of their audio. All the others, however, did not give permission for their joke to be broadcast and went on air with the altered voice and with the girth of Player 1, Player 2 etc. The service ends with the question: “But why would nine out of ten footballers go to Saudi, but don’t want to let it be known?”.
