Former Newcastle winger, Allan Saint-Maximin has left Mexican outfit Club America by mutual consent after alleging that his children were the victims of racist abuse.
Saint-Maximin, 28, who spent four years at Newcastle between 2019 and 2023, revealed earlier this week that his family had been targeted.
In a heartbreaking post on Instagram, the winger said: ‘The problem isn’t skin colour, it’s the colour of people’s thoughts.
‘I’m not bothered by attacks. I’ve grown up, I’ve learned to fight back against attacks, whether they’re subtle, hidden, or overt. But there’s one thing I will never tolerate: attacks on my children.
‘Protecting my children is my priority, and I will fight with all my might to ensure they are respected and loved, regardless of their background or skin colour. Hate and discrimination have no place in our society.’
He continued: ‘I want people to understand that every human being is unique and precious, and that we must treat each other with respect and dignity.
‘I want my children to grow up in a world where they can be themselves and where they don’t have to endure this absurd and senseless behavior that only aims to destroy and divide.
‘So, to those who dared to attack my children, I say this: you made a mistake. I will always fight to protect my family, and there is no person or threat that will frighten me. The only person on this earth who frightens me is God. You have La Boca now, come and meet me.’
