FC Lorient have announced that Adrian Grbic has been summouned to defend the comments he made against the Ligue 1 club over claims that they lied to him over what role Terem Moffi will play when he signed for the team.
Grbic has said he failed to make his country’s squad to the Euros because of lack of game time at Lorient, adding that the Ligue 1 had assured him when he signed that Moffi will not play much and he will be first-choice striker.
Moffi will eventually be the team’s top striker, scoring 14 goals to ensure they stay up in the top league, while Grbic was mostly played as a late sub.
The Austria striker was also very critical of Lorient coach Christophe Pelissier.
Ouest-France reported the showdown meeting between the club and Grbic, who cost Lorient a record 10 Million Euros.
“An interview is set for the coming days with the player to inform him of the consequences of his statements and remind him of his obligations”, the club announced.
