Willian takes legal action over fake transfer letter

The letter grants a representative permission to discuss a move for the player, but Willian says he knows nothing about this letter and has informed his Lawyers to take action since his signature appears to have been forged.

“In the recent days I have been informed that a “letter of authorization for player agent FIFA”, allegedly signed in my name has been circulated through the football market,” the Brazilian’s Instagram post read on Thursday.

“In such letter, Mr. Denirobson Dias would grant an authorization to Mr. Renee Pinheiro Anunciação to represent me until 15 August 2018, throughout football clubs in the United Kingdom and France.

“I would like to clarify that I never signed such letter, the content of which I completely deny.

“Finally, since there seem to be clear evidence that my signature has been forged, or any way misused, I hereby inform that my lawyers are already instructed to proceed with all appropriate legal measures before any competent courts or authorities.

“I hope I have clarified the matter and any possible misunderstanding.”

Willian has been linked with several clubs but insists that he is happy at Chelsea and will not be leaving.
