The question was still how the football world would react to Jakub Jankto’s revelation. The 27-year-old mercenary from Getafe is currently the only player in the highest leagues in Europe to come out for his homosexuality.
Share with football world
He first came out to his family a year and a half ago and then to his best friend. This week he also chose to share it with the football world.
Jankto said earlier this week that the first reactions after his announcement were positive, but that he also takes negative reactions from supporters into account.
“The football world is clearly a bit homophobic. It would be naive to think that nothing is happening at all. If someone feels the need to react negatively, that person has to decide for themselves. I will not react to it,” he said.
