From the tattoo studio to Trigoria: the story of an El Shaarawy superfan

Sebastiano Giomblanco posted a picture of his ‘EL 92’ tattoos on Instagram in February which was widely shared online and eventually caught the attention of his idol.

Il Faraone reposted the picture on his own Instagram account saying he wanted to invite Giomblanco to Trigoria – one month later the pair shook hands in AS Roma headquarters.
