FORMER Chelsea star Fabio Borini has opened up on his new life running a PADEL CLUB after signing for Salford City.
The Italian striker, 34, is back in English football after stints with the Blues, Liverpool and Sunderland.
Borini has signed a deal with Salford until the end of the season after leaving Sampdoria.
And he has since moved into the former home of ex-Manchester United chief Ed Woodward.
Now, Borini has opened up on his new life running a padel club in the local area.
The veteran owns Padel 16, a venue where sports stars can enjoy the popular game.
And one big name who is set to make an appearance is Manchester City goalie and fellow Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Borini told the Times: “He’ll probably come for a game, but it’s very difficult to lob him, as difficult as it is to score against him.
“But my wife has been in touch with his wife to help them out, giving him some tips and where to live, which we always liked when people did it with us.
“And we know how difficult it is, especially for someone like Gigio, who I know pretty well.

“But he’s shy, even if he looks like he’s a big lad, he is quite shy, he doesn’t know much English.
“It is difficult to move again, and obviously being in the team straight away, gives you less time to sort out all the other things.
“So my wife did all the bits, but I will invite them over for good wine.
“He knows that he can come to mine and eat good Italian food.”
