鈥榁oodoo鈥 claim riles Lukaku
Print Edition
Romelu Lukaku is seeking legal advice over the claim made by Everton鈥檚 major shareholder Farhad Moshiri that a voodoo message influenced his decision to leave the club in the summer, a representative of the Manchester United striker told the BBC.
鈥淩omelu鈥檚 decision had nothing to do with voodoo,鈥 the Belgian international鈥檚 representative said yesterday. 鈥淗e distances himself from these beliefs and this statement and will now see what judicial steps can be taken in relation to them.鈥
Moshiri had told Everton shareholders at their AGM on Tuesday that a phone call Lukaku had with his mother torpedoed a new contract with the Toffees that was 99.9 percent done, with the club prepared to pay him a reported 拢140,000 (US$189,000) a week. 鈥淗e said he was on a pilgrimage in Africa or somewhere and he had a voodoo and got the message that he needs to go to Chelsea,鈥 said Moshiri, although the player snubbed Chelsea to go to United for 拢75 million.
Lukaku鈥檚 representative said the 24-year-old Manchester United striker鈥檚 decision had nothing to do with voodoo as he was a Roman Catholic, and that he wished to play for a club with a better chance of winning silverware.
鈥淩omelu is very Catholic and voodoo is not part of his life or his beliefs,鈥 the representative said. 鈥淗e simply had no faith in Everton and no confidence in Mr Moshiri鈥檚 project. That is why he did not want to sign on any condition. He wanted to make the next step in his career and wanted the security to be able to leave.鈥
