Is Simone Pepe gay? Chinese whistle blower reveals all...
by Football Italia staff
Explosive and potentially catastrophic reports coming in from England this morning, it has been revealed that Juventus winger Simone Pepe may in fact be a homosexual, as intimated to an individual known as 'Badass Devil' on the extremely popular 'Juventuz' fan forum.
Badass Devil - real name Andrew Golding - claims to be close friends of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal's brother Marcelo, and is the source of the astounding revelations. Football Italia have made repeated efforts to get in touch with Mr. Golding but so far he has remained offline on Facebook, and was last spotted at Heathrow boarding a plane to Tel Aviv.
Marcelo Vidal has also said to have described star Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio as a 'loner and aloof', and described Giorgio Chiellini as 'a madman in training'.
An insight to Juve's transfer plans for this summer was also revealed, as Udinese midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah was tipped to be highly valued in Vinovo, with Arturo Vidal claming that Juve 'want him and he is very good'. Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has furiously denied the claims, and has ordered an immediate enquiry into the matter.
The stunning news has lead to an outpouring of anger in Turin, as protesters took to the streets last night demanding that Pepe be axed from the squad immediately, and be hanged publicly in the central square of the northern Italian city.
Pepe did not show up for training at Vinovo this morning, and so far Juventus have yet to confirm or deny the rumors as silenzio stampa has been taken with immediate effect.
