Chelsea midfielder Willian is taking legal action after insisting a document appearing to authorize a change of agents used a “forged” signature.
The Brazilian has instructed his lawyers following the emergence of a letter which seems to show Denirobson Dias giving Renee Pinheiro Anunciacao go-ahead to represent the 29-year-old.
But Willian has rejected the legitimacy of the letter, which he shared in an Instagram post on Thursday.
He wrote: “In the recent days I have been informed that a ‘letter of authorisation for player agent FIFA’, allegedly signed in my name has been circulated through the football market.
“In such letter, Mr Denirobson Dias would grant an authorisation to Mr Renee Pinheiro Anunciacao to represent me until August 15 2018, throughout football clubs in the United Kingdom and France.
“I would like to clarify that I never signed such a 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.”
