DBasia.news – Former Inter Milan striker Adriano Leite Ribeiro has been reported dead by local media in Brazil.
But the news is merely a hoax. Through his personal Instagram account, Adriano denied that he died.
“I’m still alive and I’m at home,” Adriano wrote in his personal Instagram post. In this post, Adriano also uploaded a photo of himself resting in bed.
Adriano’s career fell apart when he had been predicted to be the best footballer in Europe. At the young age of 17, he had broken into the main squad of Flamengo. At the age of 19, he moved to Inter with a transfer value of 13 million euros.
With a lack of opportunities to play at the San Siro, the young Brazilian was loaned to Parma, where he scored 26 goals in 44 matches, giving him the chance to return to the Nerazzurri.
In the near future, he has become a star for his country, winning gold shoes in the successful journey of Brasi to win the 2004 Copa America.
But after performing brilliantly with club and country, there are concerns about his wasteful lifestyle. Sure enough, he fell because of the nightlife. Adriano even got into a gangster circle after retiring from football.
