Adriano allegedly once spent £13,000 on 18 prostitutes after failed transfer

FORMER Inter Milan star Adriano allegedly once cheered himself up after a failed transfer by spending £13,000 on 18 prostitutes.

The 40-year-old saw a move to French outfit Le Havre fall through in 2015 after departing Brazilian outfit Atletico Paranaense the previous year.

The Ligue 2 side had offered the 48-cap Brazil international a contract at Stade Oceane, with Adriano agreeing to the deal.

But the proposed switch collapsed at the last minute after a takeover at Le Havre went wrong.

And according to Brazilian publication Extra, the 2004 Copa America winner consoled himself in the only way he knew how - by visiting a brothel.

They state that Adriano flew from France back to Rio de Janeiro where he splashed £13,000 on 18 sex workers.

He took the group of women to a private party at Motel Vip's where he spent a further £8,600 on a binge until the early hours of the morning.

The four-time Serie A winner is notorious for his off-the-pitch antics.
