Arsenal striker Eduardo, meanwhile, is being
sued for around £950,000 by his wife's uncle over unpaid transfer
commission when he joined Arsenal last year.
According to reports in Croatia, Miljenko Radivojevic
claims that Eduardo, currently recovering from a career-threatening
leg fracture suffered in February, has failed to honour a "working
contract" they both signed in 2003.
The amount Radivojevic says his nephew owes him
represents 10 per cent of the transfer fee when the Brazilian-born
Croatia forward moved from Dinamo Zagreb to Arsenal.
Eduardo has already begun legal proceedings against his
relative, accusing him of acting as an "impostor". Eduardo's
lawyer, Miroslav Separovic, says the player and his wife are very
concerned. "They can't understand that someone's trying to take
advantage of the transfer," said Separovic, ''especially someone
who has done nothing for them, aside from buying him a pair of
trainers."
