Surreal: Dinamo Bucharest signed Edgar Ye, but is suspicious that his twin brother Edelino Ye is in the team

There are stories that are so surreal that they seem impossible to be true. The one we bring to you here is definitely one of them. And a Portuguese national team player is participating in it. According to the Romanian press, Dinamo Bucharest suspect that the player who arrived at the club in February was Edelino Ie and not Edgar Ie, the player they believed they had signed. And even the Federation has already responded to this loud rumor…

It all started on Saturday when journalist Daniel Sendre wrote about this hypothesis on his Facebook. Since then, the rumor has spread and it seems the suspicion is very real. According to the local press, this situation was condemned by the fact that the club player does not speak English and speaks only in Portuguese, while Edgar Ie speaks fluent English. Emanuel Rosu, a famous Romanian journalist, even said that Dynamo asked the player to show his driver’s license, but he refused.

Why does Dynamo think they signed Evelino and not Edgar?
They can’t speak English to the player, even though they were sure Edgar spoke English.
The player they have (Edgar or Edelino) does not want to show the club his driver’s license. https://t.co/R0DONShvKS

An unusual situation that could have serious consequences, since if confirmed, Dinamo Bucharest risks losing all the games in which Ie played (5 in which he managed to win 8 points). And if this happens, the capital’s club will immediately be relegated to the lower league. However, there is a possibility that the club will escape punishment.

“No scenario for the development of this situation is provided. If the player who played is not real, there may be sanctions. Legally, a DNA test can decide everything if the result is not in your favor. Of course, Dynamo never intended to use the twin brother instead of the correct one. I think that if the DNA result confirms it is their twin brother, they should consider a defense given that they didn’t know about it in regards to losing games on the table. this possibility will have to be considered. But if “Dynamo” was deceived and can prove it, then there is no risk of losing points,” a source in the Romanian federation told iAMsport.

It should be noted that Edgar Ie joined the Romanians in February after leaving Turkish club Basaksehir, while Edelino Ie has been linked with Poland’s Tluchovia Tluchov this season after representing GD in Resende of the Portuguese Championship last year.

Club speaks of ‘coordinated attack’

Late on Sunday evening, after the game with UTA Arad, which Dynamo won with a score of 2:0 (without Edgar… or Edelino Ie), the club administrator reacted and declared a lie. “We avoided making statements. The Romanian press should pay more attention because they are creating a case. Nobody spoke to us. We consider the person who spread this rumor to be a cancer for Dynamo. This was a concerted attack on us. I don’t want to be made fun of. Forget it, it’s a lie. There is a whole world between him and his brother,” Andrei Nicolescu said after the meeting.
