A group of Corinthians supporters raided a motel to attack Luan, a team player, when he was in the company of five friends and four women.
The São Paulo club has already issued a statement condemning the incident, calling it a “cowardly attack”.
“Sport Club Corinthians Paulista received with sadness and indignation the information that the athlete Luan was attacked by alleged fans in the early hours of this Tuesday in São Paulo. The club follows the verification of the facts and provides all necessary support to the player, such as has always done since his arrival, in 2020. After another disgusting case of violence, Corinthians regrets the current moment of intolerance that dominates Brazilian football.”

According to Globe Sportsdid the supporters in question know that the player was at the location, in Barra Funda, west of São Paulo, and went there to attack the footballer in the rib area.
This aggression comes just days after Luan took stock of his time at Corinthians, which began in 2020, after asking coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo for more chances, who says he is not using him because the fans don’t want him to.
Luan has a contract until the end of this season and has not played since February last year.
