She posted a series of pictures, one of which featured young Thiago wearing an Inter Miami shirt, as he is part of the club’s academy.

You will forever be my babyyyyyy”
The touching post from Roccuzzo received an outpouring of well-wishes from friends and family, including the spouses of fellow football stars like Luis Suarez and Cesc Fabregas.
