Lionel Messi's Inter Miami bodyguard has received a bizarre $25,000 offer from an adult website after becoming a viral phenomenon.
Yassine Chueko's job is to look after the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner and he is known to go to extreme lengths to do so.
The MMA fighter, who is a mountain of a man and in incredible shape, takes his job very seriously and accompanies him wherever he goes on matchdays.

As soon as he gets off the boss to head to the stadium, Chueko is there waiting for Messi.
And even while Messi is strutting his stuff from the Herons, the security man is always lurking in the background and sprints down the touchline
In the event that a pitch invader goes towards Messi, Chueko is not afraid to get physical as he was seen putting a fan in a headlock.
And it seems as though Chueko is a man in demand as X-rated site My.Club have quite the proposal for him.
On their official website, Mike Ford, the company's vice president, has written a letter to Chueko - offering him the opportunity to make an initial $25,000 for his services.
He wants him to be a 'Martial Arts Ambassador' and share his combat skills and encourages him to share videos of him flexing his muscles - as well as his duties protecting Messi. This role would bag him an extra $50,000.
"You’ve become quite the sensation serving as Lionel Messi’s bodyguard," Ford wrote.
"More recently, you’ve gone viral while protecting him - basically man-marking him - during Inter Miami games. The videos of you sprinting up and down the touchline have millions of views and people have started to thirst over you.
"I’d like to hire you to serve as the “Martial Arts Ambassador” for My.Club, a leading platform for adult content creators. In your role, you’d be tasked with sharing martial arts tutorials to educate users and content creators on the importance of self-defense.
"You can also post videos and pictures of yourself training, flexing, posing, and maybe even provide a glimpse into your daily life with Messi. Many users would love to watch you working out and showcasing your broad-shouldered, big-chested, chiseled body.
"Please get back to me at your earliest convenience. I'd love to hire you ASAP."
After a brief break, Chueko was back being Messi's bodyguard against Toronto FC, though the 36-year-old was substituted before half-time through injury.
He will be hoping to be fit for the US Open cup final against Houston Dynamo on 28 September.
