      by

      Pelle has been linked with a move to West Ham

      Varga could be headed for a Premier League return

      And now Pelle has been linked with a sensational return to England with West Ham.
      But since 2016, Varga, 29, has played the part of supportive Wag while Pelle has been banging in the goals for Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng – where he has scored 62 goals in 133 games.
      The pair upped sticks to Jinan, with the Italian striker offered an incredible £13.5m a year deal, and they’ve thrived in the Far East.
      In fact, Varga’s refused to take a back seat as her own career has continued to prosper.

      She is represented by Free Faces Management, Exte Management, Look Models and Fashion Models – meaning she scores tons of gigs, including many magazine cover shots.

      Whether it’s sexy lingerie or swimwear she’s showing off, or a high-brow fashion range, Varga is happy to show off her long legs – most recently spending the Christmas holidays in Maldives.
      In recent years, Varga has made the move into acting – appearing in a small role in Son of Saul.
      The film is set in Auschwitz during World War II and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2015.

      Pelle and Varga reportedly met in 2012, and have been inseparable ever since.
      Reports said they met on Facebook after Pelle came across her photos online and showered her with messages.

      And looking at Varga’s social media, it’s easy to see why he reached out to the stunner.
      On a daily basis, she shares sexy images to her adoring following on Instagram that encapsulate the life of a Wag perfectly.
      It’s no wonder then that she’s attracted over 515,000 followers who watch her every move.
      Here’s hoping she returns to our shores soon.

      Kylian Mbappe’s Wag is Alicia Aylies who was crowned Miss France 2017, is pals with Tom Cruise and wants to be a lawyer

      by

      All hail the future queen of Wags – the girlfriend of Kylian Mbappe.
      Gorgeous Alicia Aylies, 22, came to our attention when she was spied cheering on France at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

      Standing next to the beautiful Tiziri Digne and Florian Thauvin’s missus Charlotte Pirroni, Aylies complimented the French Wags delirious with their partners’ success.
      And Aylies must’ve been delighted with her man Mbappe’s displays that continued to show why he’s expected to rival Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as a Ballon d’Or winner.
      After all, he came alive in their last-16 match against Argentina, netting twice in four minutes to kill off Messi and Co.
      But there’s much more to Aylies than just being a muse for the man expected to be the best footballer in the world.

      She earned her own plaudits when she was crowned Miss France 2017, later representing her country at Miss Universe 2017 in Las Vegas.
      The 5ft 10in stunner became an overnight success and celebrity in her homeland because of that.
      With her new found fame, she now rubs shoulders with Hollywood’s elite, including most recently with Tom Cruise at the Mission: Impossible – Fallout premiere.
      And at Paris Fashion Week 2018, Aylies turned heads as she attended a number of shows previewing next year’s collections from the world’s biggest designers.

      But there’s more to Aylies than vacuous red carpets, fashion shows and model shoots.
      Before she made her name on her good looks, the Martinique-born beauty wanted to become a lawyer.
      She started a law degree at the University of French Guiana before she was discovered as a model and put her studies to one side.
      We don’t think she’ll be needing that anytime soon, do you?

      Raquel Mauri is the gorgeous Spanish missus of Croatia’s Ivan Rakitic who met ace in a coffee shop

      by

      THEY say if you really want something, you will keep going for it until finally you get what you want.
      And that was no different for Croatia’s Ivan Rakitic, 32, who really had to work the charm to finally earn a date with Raquel Mauri, 30.

      Rakitic met Mauri in a coffee shop in Sevilla

      At first she rejected Rakitic and his advances

      It all happened when the midfield dynamo had just signed for Sevilla from Schalke 04 in 2011.
      He visited the same local coffee shop with his brother, where Mauri worked as a barista, as he settled into life in Spain.
      But, as he explained in his Players’ Tribune piece, his pigeon Spanish did him no favours in trying to woo his future wife.
      He wrote: “I don’t know how to explain it. Sometimes, you meet someone and you just have a different feeling.

      “Whenever I saw her, it was like a bomb went off inside me.
      “Week after week, I slowly started to learn some Spanish words, and if I was struggling, I would use my hands a lot to try to explain what I was trying to say to her.

      “She thought that was funny. She was like, ‘Me …  Jane. You … Tarzan.’

      “I was drinking so much coffee it was ridiculous. I probably asked her out 20 or 30 times.”

      Mauri was working at a coffee as a barista when she met Rakitic

      Rakitic revealed in a Players’ Tribune article that Mauri had her concerns about dating a footballer

      He said that part of the reason he did well at Sevilla was to get the chance to date Mauri

      Eventually, stunning Mauri went on a date with Rakitic after he asked her out over 20 timesCredit: Getty – Contributor

      The Croatian revealed that Mauri had her reservations about dating a footballer because he could end up having to move to another country.

      Rakitic continued: “You know, I’m not the biggest guy in the world, so I thought, ‘S***, maybe she sees me and she doesn’t think I’m going to be very good and Seville will sell me in the summer.’
      “Part of my motivation when I went to training was to establish myself in the squad so that I would be around for a while and this girl would finally have dinner with me. It literally took me seven months.”
      Eventually, Raquel agreed to grab lunch – and eight years later the pair are still together.
      They’re also the proud parents of two children, Althea and Adara.
      Rakitic revealed: “When I met my wife, I felt as though I really had something to play for, and my career went to another level after that.
      “We had a lot of special years in Seville. In 2013, I was named the first foreign captain of the club since Maradona.
      “That was such a special honour for me, especially because of how much the club meant to my wife’s grandfather.”
      Rakitic would go on to join Barcelona in 2014 but returned to Sevilla last summer.

      Man Utd ace Daniel James’ Wag Ria Hughes is sports instructor who bought Wales winger a cockapoo for his birthday

      by

      WHEN Daniel James signed for Manchester United, one of the first people to congratulate him was his girlfriend.
      Gorgeous Wag Ria Hughes jumped on to Instagram as soon as the Welsh wizard’s £15m move from Swansea was sealed last year and proudly gushed about his achievements – in an emotional show of support.

      The pair have been dating for three years and appear to be completely smitten with one another, often sharing love-up snaps on social media.
      And they even have an adorable pooch together, which Hughes gave James for his 21st birthday, in 2018.
      And Hughes isn’t your typical Wag, either.
      A sports instructor by trade, she shouldn’t have any trouble fitting in with the beautiful Maja Nilsson – the wife of Victor Lindelof and United’s other Wags.

      The fitness fanatic worked at a local gymnastics club in Swansea before making the move to Manchester after James took the next step in his career in 2019.
      Joining them on their journey north was Cockapoo called Hugo.
      In November 2018, Hughes gave her beloved the cute pet as a present for his birthday.
      The winger shared an image on Instagram of balloons spelling out a birthday message with the dog sat with a bow around his neck.

      He wrote: “My early birthday present from @riakatehughes don’t know how she kept this a secret after asking for a dog for so long couldn’t ask for anything better love you.”
      Like young lovers do, the pair enjoy enjoy travelling and a summer break away – and headed to Marbella for some much-needed sun last summer.
      Hughes and James also enjoyed BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend that summer.
      On leaving Swansea in 2019, James signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford worth around £67,000-per-week.
      And Hughes was giddy at the news, sharing her adoration with her 600,000 plus followers.

      She wrote on Instagram: “Even after all these years you still manage to amaze me every single day.
      “You work so hard on and off the pitch at everything you do.
      “Your determination, your personality, how you deal with things, how selfless you are, how you treat people, your dedication, the ambition you have, just everything about you makes me so bloody proud.
      “What a dream of yours this is – I still can not believe it is happening.
      “I’m so lucky I get to watch you achieve your goals everyday. Forever grateful.
      “There is no better person who deserves this more. Keep working hard. Keep being you. I am so proud.”
      Hughes signed off her message telling her beau that she loves him.
      The pair could be on the move soon, though – with the winger out of favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
      A host of clubs are keen to bring him in on loan, with Brighton keen on signing James until the end of the season.
      The 17-cap Wales star has scored six goals in 53 games in all competitions for United.

      Stunning TV presenter Melissa Satta-Boateng is the wife of ex-Tottenham and Barcelona star Kevin-Prince Boateng

      by

      HAILING from Boston, Massachusetts to Sardinian parents, there’s no doubt Melissa Satta-Boateng was born with fire in her belly.
      The stunning Wag, who has been married to former Tottenham and Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng since 2016, also isn’t afraid to talk about her sex life.

      Melissa Satta-Boateng is the stunning Wag of Kevin-Prince Boateng

      In fact, back in 2012 she once revealed why she thought her beau was always seeking treatment in the medical room.
      “The reason why he is always injured is because we have sex seven to ten times a week,” Satta-Boateng, 34, claimed.
      She added: “I’m afraid that’s the reason for the strain,” with Kevin-Prince out of action for most of that year with a thigh complaint.
      You can certainly think of worse ways to get injured.

      But Satta-Boateng herself has carved out her own unique career – starting with modelling in 2002.
      From presenting a Victoria’s Secret TV show special in 2009, her career on the small screen soon blossomed.
      She found herself working on a host of Italian shows, where she got to display her out-going personality.
      At the same time, Satta-Boateng appeared in sexy shoots with the likes of Maxim and Sports Illustrated.

      Then came a high-profile relationship with Italian legend Christian Vieri, which ended in 2011 after she allegedly had an affair.
      Later that year, Satta-Boateng was engaged to Italian businessman Gianluca Vacchi.
      However, a month after that she was photographed going into a hotel late at night with basketball legend Kobe Bryant, which led to his wife Vanessa Bryant filing for divorce.
      But she has since found happiness with Kevin-Prince, and the hot couple had a child together in 2014 called Maddox Prince.
      While life off the pitch has been peachy for the footballer, his time on the pitch has been a bit different.
      Having enjoyed spells at Tottenham and AC Milan earlier in his career – as well as a shock loan stint at Barcelona in 2019 – Boateng is now at Serie B side Monza after struggling at Fiorentina and Besiktas last season.

      Dani Alves supermodel wife Joana Sanz turned down TWO proposals before their secret fancy Ibiza wedding

      by

      SPANISH supermodel Joana Sanz made Dani Alves work before she walked down the aisle.
      The 27-year-old, who has strutted her stuff for Jimmy Choo, Gucci and Philipp Plein, turned down TWO proposals before eventually saying ‘I do’ to the Brazilian legend.

      Sanz, who boasts almost 750,000 Instagram followers, lived in Paris with former PSG star husband Dani Alves, who moved back to Brazil in 2019.
      WHEN IT STARTED
      Joana and Dani, 37, started dating in 2015, after they were introduced by a mutual friend while the galloping right-back was still at Barcelona.
      Joana had been sharing a flat with the girlfriend of one of Alves’ business partners.
      After a year in Turin, where Alves won Serie A and the Coppa Italia and got to the final of the Champions League with Juventus, the pair hooked up.

      WEDDING BELLS
      Dani and Joana flew to Ibiza in 2017, where they were married in secret.
      The wedding took place on the island of Formantera, but little is known about who was in attendance or what went on.
      Despite posting often to their social media channels, both Joana and Dani stayed remarkably silent for their secret ceremony.
      Few pictures have been seen.

      Joana says the secret to her and Dani’s marriage is humourCredit: AFP – Getty
      And Alves – a six-time La Liga and three-time Champions League winner – broke a cardinal rule at a wedding… he wore white.
      We suppose it’s OK if you’re the groom, but Alves then made another fashion faux pas by matching his white three-piece with trainers.
      There was some pre-wedding drama as well.
      TURNED DOWN TWICE
      In Spanish gossip magazine La Vanguardia, Joana revealed that she actually turned down TWO Dani Alves proposals before deciding to marry him after a third.

      She revealed in 2016: “Dani asked me in the hotel room alone. We do not like [putting on a show].
      “It was splendid… he already asked me three times.”
      The glossy also revealed that Joana was wearing two of her engagement rings.
      Joana has been a frequent visitor at the Fifa Best and Ballon d’Or awards evenings, rocking up to the red carpet alongside arguably the best right-back of his generation.

      Born in September 1993, Joana shot to fame as a model at 17 after appearing in the Supermodel of the World contest for top modelling agency Ford.
      Joana and Dani are yet to have children of their own, but she has become like a second mother to his two kids, Daniel and Victoria.
      She says the secret to their relationship is laughter.
      Joana said it would be ‘impossible’ for the couple to not find each other funny.

      “There is humour for a while and I think that over the years it will be more,” she said.
      “It also unites us a lot that we think exactly the same.
      “We finish [each other’s] sentences. It’s scary.”

      The pair began dating long before Targett established himself in the Southampton first team, and are childhood sweethearts who met in Hampshire.
      And as the defender has gone on to become a professional footballer, he’s made sure his other half has become accustomed to Wag life.

      Jasmin, 24, is your typical footballers’ missus, who loves expensive clothing – with her favourite designer being Fendi.

      From Michael Kors handbags to ASOS thigh-high boots, Jasmin’s page has a variety of offerings.
      And she’s even sold some of Targett’s threads too – listing his Kenzo sweater, DSquared2 jeans and Giuseppe Zanotti trainers for a tidy sum.
      FANCY HOLIDAYS ARE THE NORM
      When she’s not making extra space in their wardrobes, Jasmin can often be seen enjoying a fancy holiday with her beau.

      The two recently enjoyed the delights of Greece last summer in a no expenses spared trip to Santorini.

      David Alaba’s stunning girlfriend is Shalimar Heppner, whose dad is Germany’s top chef dubbed ‘German Gordon Ramsay’

      SOMETHING’s cooking for David Alaba.
      The Bayern Munich defender, 28, looks set to leave the Champions League winners after talks over a new contract reportedly broke down.

      And that has a whole host of Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea who are looking to bring the Austrian international in on a free transfer next summer.
      Should Alaba make the move, he will uprooting his family including his stunning missus Shalimar Heppner and their son for a new challenge.
      They’ll both likely miss her dad’s cooking, who is a top chef who has been called the ‘German Gordon Ramsay’.
      But Shalimar, 26, would definitely be a welcome addition to our shores.

      LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
      She met Alaba in 2017, and the pair immediately hit it off.
      However, they didn’t go public with their romance until 2018, when they arrived at the Oktoberfest together in Bavaria.
      Shalimar is a part-time model, but also works as a PR manager.
      And she’s picked up quite the buzz on Instagram – with almost 30,000 followers.

      However, she is not as well-known as her dad.

      YES CHEF
      Frank Heppner, Shalimar’s father, has worked almost exclusively with luxury hotel restaurants around the world.
      From designing menus at Hilton International in Seoul-Korea and the Peninsula Hotels in the Philippines and in Hong Kong to being head chef at Mark’s in Munich, Heppner’s cooking is renowned in his homeland.
      Skilled at grilled meats and fish, he’s a mean-hand at a BBQ and has been compared to our very own chef Ramsay.
      His focus is on Euro-Asian cuisine, so we want in!
      NEW ADDITION
      In 2019, Shalimar and Alaba welcomed their first child together.
      The pair have never revealed the boy’s name, and the left-back has kept the baby’s identity private, aside from an image of him holding the baby and kissing his feet.

      In 2019, Alaba and Shalimar became parents for the first time

      “I can hardly wait to show you the world,” Alaba revealed in one post gently holding the baby’s head.
      In another image, he wrote: “Thank you in 2019 for the greatest gift I could ever have imagined. We look forward to 2020 and the years to come with you.”
