She said F Magazine: “The worst was: ‘You’re only here because of you idiots.’

“A colleague at Sky Sport told me how people were talking about me.

“I had just arrived, I was twenty years old: it hurt a lot. That night, at home, I let out a cry of liberation.

“This awakened the lion in me, I learned a lot. I graduated [in law] so no one could say something like that to me again.”

Goalkeeper Karius – who has had a string of glamorous girlfriends in the past – is believed to have met Diletta in Paris.

They then began dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter Aria in August 2023.

Karius – formerly of Liverpool – has been at Newcastle since 2022 but looks set to leave in the summer.

And it comes after Diletta – who he proposed to in February – asked him to LEAVE as she lives in Italy with their daughter.

She said Tuttosport: “Loris has people on his side who work for him. I live in Milan, so let’s say being close to Milan would be ideal for us.

“I always tell him that players who come to Serie A fall in love with Italy and often stay there forever. I think this could happen to him too.

“[He should join] Monza or any other team in Italy. I would be happy if he came to Italy to play near his family.

“Newcastle is very inconvenient because there are no direct flights. Neither about Paris nor about Amsterdam.”

The couple is now engaged
