She wrote, "This man who defines himself as misogynist is sending me these messages..." The tweet, which has now been deleted read 'your days are numbered'. The account has been suspended, while the police has asked Salamo to keep a tab on it so that they can advise her accordingly.

Salamo replied to the man saying, "I would appreciate you not slandering me or my partner. Otherwise I'll have to take legal action." The abuse came after Salamo was accused by Spanish website, Don Balon for being the reason behind Isco's loss of form.
