Ultras Corinthians attacked footballer Luan during a party, demanding that the midfielder terminate his contract with the Sao Paulo team.

Luan being held by the neck by Corinthians’ ultras

According to Brazilian media, Luan, 30, was locked up for two days with nine other people in a Sao Paulo motel at a party that allegedly involved sex, alcohol and marijuana.

After taking him out of the motel, angry fans grabbed the player by the neck and scolded him for indiscipline.

Before the attack, the extremists published a photo and the message “Target found successfully.” The will of 37 million madmen”

The football player posted a photo of his blood-stained clothes on Instagram.

The Brazilian club called the incident “another disgusting case of violence”, saying “nothing justifies the cowardly aggression the athlete suffered”.

Sao Paulo police said they had identified seven suspects. However, the investigation will continue only if Luan files a complaint (the footballer is unwilling to do so).

Luan, who is said to not play very often as he has a bad relationship with coach Wanderlei Luxemburgo, was signed by Corinthians in 2020. In 80 matches for the club, the midfielder scored 11 goals and 5 assists. His contract expires at the end of this season.
