Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku is seeking legal advice
over the claim by Everton’s major shareholder, Farhad Moshiri
that a voodoo message influenced his decision to leave the club in
the summer.
Lukaku’s representative disclosed this to BBC on Wednesday.
The representative said, “Romelu’s decision [to join Manchester
United] had nothing to do with voodoo.
“He distances himself from these beliefs and this statement and
will now see what judicial steps can be taken in relation to them.”
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% done, with the club
prepared to pay him a reported £140,000 ($189,000) a week.
Moshiri said, “He 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.”
Lukaku has been left seething by the claim.
His representative said the 24-year-old is a Roman Catholic, and
simply wished to play for a club with a better chance of winning
silverware.
“Romelu is very Catholic and voodoo is not part of his life or his
beliefs,” the representative said.
“He simply had no faith in Everton and no confidence in Mr
Moshiri’s 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,” he added.
