The management board of Rangers International of Enugu has declared it star player, Chisom Egbuchulam, missing.
A statement by the Director Media and Public Relations of Rangers, Foster Chime, said the board’s position is that the Tunisian club, Etoile Sportive Du Sahel, has illegally poached or stolen Egbuchulam and Rangers have not agreed any terms with Etoile Sportive Du Sahel.
“Rangers did not give any official permission to Chisom Egbuchulam to travel to Tunisia or approval to leave his primary area of assignment. The management officially received letter of interest on Chisom Egbuchulam which was replied and communicated to Etoile Sportive Du Sahel accordingly,” the statement clarified.
The club maintains that Egbuchulam could only be transferred for a fee of $500,000 (five hundred thousand dollars) and still remains bonafide Rangers player till January, 2018. The board also warned other interested clubs including Etoile Sportive Du Sahel to steer clear of Egbuchulam, but should open appropriate official.
“We are warning them to avail themselves of the communications channels with Rangers FC if they are interested in the player rather than circumventing the extant and stipulated NFF, CAF and FIFA rules to poach our player,” the statement added.
Rangers have already officially communicated NFF, CAF and FIFA on the stealing/poaching of Chisom Egbuchulam by Etoile Sportive Du Sahel of Tunisia, and warned that the club is “ready to invoke all means at its disposal to protect her player from this unwanton act”.
