Isco and Sara Salamo
Sara Salamo, girlfriend of Real Madrid forward Isco, has revealed she has been the target of online death threats.
Actress Salamo and Spain international Isco have been together for several months, going public with their relationship in October last year.
However some fans have disturbingly taken against the 25-year-old, as she revealed last week. Salamo re-tweeted a threat she was sent and copied to the Spanish police, writing: ‘This man who defines himself as misogynist is sending me these messages…’
The tweet, now deleted, said ‘your days are numbered’. The account itself has since been suspended, while the police responded by asking Salamo to follow them so they could send her advice privately.
The abuse comes after Salamo was accused by Spanish website Don Balon of leading Isco astray on a ‘vida loca’ lifestyle, resulting in a loss of form on the pitch.
Salamo responded furiously to the accusations, tweeting: ‘I would appreciate you not slandering me or my partner. Otherwise I’ll have to take legal action’.
Isco, who started the Champions League final ahead of Gareth Bale last season, has not yet matched the same high standards in this campaign.
He has scored five goals and created five assists in 25 La Liga matches, but has found the net in the league once since last November.
