The Brazilian striker has been put on an intense fitness regime.

When he first arrived in the capital, Adriano weighted 102kg, which is about 10-12 kilos more than his ideal weight.

The Giallorossi staff feel that with hard work on the training pitch and a healthy diet the ex-Inter man will be in perfect shape for the start of the season.

“Adriano is happy and motivated,” said fitness coach Paolo Bertelli to the press. “He is a great champion and a really nice guy too.”

The former Flamengo player is only allowed to drink water, while alcohol is strictly prohibited for the former party boy.
