German footballer Ilkay Gundogan secretly got married to model Sara Arfaoui in Rome. According to The Sun, there were reports of him flying to Spain to have talks with Real Madrid after his future at Manchester City was under scrutiny. 

He returned to Manchester to play in the English Premier League tie against Aston Villa on Sunday. Rubbishing rumours about his trip to Rome, Arfaoui  wrote: “We are married. We are really happy. We wanted to keep it private but unfortunately after this fake news about my husband I felt forced to say the truth.”
