Image Source: ISL[/caption]Internet Desk: The Golden boot winner of Hero ISL season 3, Marcelo Leite Pereira said that he might take legal action against his team Delhi Dynamos and possibly go to the parent body of world football FIFA for not paying him a due amount of USD 25,000.
The agreement between the Brazilian forward and Delhi Dynamos was the player would get USD 1000 for every goal he scored during the ISL season and would also receive USD 15000 for winning the Golden Boot award.
By his legal counsel, Pereira has lodged a bleat to Dynamos about a breach of agreement from Delhi’s part.
The 29-year-old Marcelinho has scored 10 goals for Dynamos in the third season of Indian Super League, playing a crucial role in the team’s march to the semifinals with its enterprising brand of football.
“I have been waiting for the payment to be cleared since December. Please make the payment, Dynamos. My lawyer is looking into various options,” Marcelinho told the media from Rio de Janeiro.
If Dynamos fail to pay heed to his complaints, Marcelinho is open to taking up the issue with world football governing body FIFA.
The prolific striker last month signed for Brazil based Avai FC.
The diminutive striker scored 10 times in 15 games for the Dynamos, notching up the most shots by any attacker on target – 26 – while also producing five assists.
The former Flamengo youth player was learnt to have sought Zico’s blessings on the move to Avai FC, after having a consultation on the same with the former FC Goa gaffer.
In his junior days, Marcelinho has played on the flanks or behind the striker, before transforming into a successful striker.
