The forward's representative called out the club's sporting director and accused the Reds of causing harm to the 18-year-old's mental health
Liverpool say they are “disappointed” by “unattributed comments” and “unfounded allegations” made about the club by the agent of teenage striker Bobby Duncan.
In an explosive statement posted direct onto Twitter on Wednesday afternoon, Duncan’s representative, Saif Rubie, accused the Reds of “mentally bullying” and “destroying the life” of the 18-year-old.
Rubie’s statement, which singled out Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards and made repeated references to the “small salary” Duncan earns at Anfield, criticised the club’s decision to reject loan offers from both Fiorentina and FC Nordsjaelland in recent weeks, stating that the player was, for a number of reasons, unhappy at Liverpool and eager to leave for the benefit of his career.
