After being reportedly kicked out from Paris 2024, Luana Alonso dropped a shocking revelation about a Brazilian football star.

Luana Alonso has been at the center of controversy following her unexpected removal from the Paris 2024 Olympics Village.

The 20-year-old Paraguayan swimmer, who was competing in the women's 100-meter butterfly event, was reportedly asked to leave the Olympic Village due to "inappropriate behavior," sparking tension within Team Paraguay. 

The head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, Larissa Schaerer, initially confirmed the request for Alonso's departure, which was later clarified as a voluntary decision by the athlete after narrowly missing the semi-finals by just 0.24 seconds.

This disappointing outcome in the pool was soon overshadowed by revelations of her conduct outside the competition, adding fuel to the controversy.

Alonso recently made headlines with a surprising revelation during an interview on the Paraguayan radio show ‘Aire de Todos’. 

According to Fox Sports, Alonso disclosed that Brazilian football star Neymar Jr., once a favourite to win the Ballon d’Or, had sent her a direct message on Instagram a few years ago.

 At the time, Alonso was just 18 years old, and the message went unnoticed in her request folder. 

However, when she finally saw it, the timing had passed, and she chose not to elaborate further on the details of the conversation between her and the 32-year-old Al Hilal star.

 Alonso mentioned that Neymar had reacted to one of her Instagram photos, but she refrained from sharing additional details, saying, "He sent me a DM. That's all I can say." 

Shortly after failing to make it past the heats of the 100m butterfly event on July 27, 2024, Alonso took to social media to announce her decision to retire from competitive swimming. 

Since then, Alonso has seen her Instagram followers skyrocket from over 600,000 followers to over 1.1 million and counting within days of her exit from Paris.
