The 30-year-old has been with the club since this past summer. He previously featured for Barcelona, having made it into the team under Luis Enrique, followed by Villarreal, Lille, Feyenoord, Nantes, Trabzonspor and then Basaksehir.

While there isn’t any official confirmation or statement on the issue, it could be a sensational story if it ends up being true. Le’s brother, Edelino, previously played for Tluchowia Tluchow in Poland after his spell with Resende in Portugal.
The initial suspicions came up because of the player not willing to show his driver’s license when asked to. As things stand, an internal investigation is anticipated to determine the true extent of the matter.
