The report suggested that the 79-year-old “had a relationship” with the Russian model after dating tennis player Ilona Boguska but before meeting glamorous Linda Barras, 50.
Baseless allegations
“The rumours regarding an alleged romantic and/or personal affair with Sepp Blatter by El Mundo newspaper in Spain is a pathetic attempt at defaming Ms Shayk and are absolutely not true,” a New York-based spokesman for Irina Shayk said.

“We have no intentions of further acknowledging these allegations as they are wholly unfounded.”
Blatter is in the midst of an expanding FIFA corruption scandal and was forced to resign from his post days after getting re-elected for a fifth term.
Shayk is currently in a relationship with Hollywood movie star Bradley Cooper.
