Countries where French is spoken and FIFA manager Mithat Halis, who is influential in Central and Eastern Europe, made statements regarding the transfer agenda of Galatasaray, the Super League champion, for the upcoming season.
Speaking to Radyospor, Halis mentioned that Galatasaray player Dries Mertens played a role in the transfer of Victor Osimhen, stating that if Kevin De Bruyne, who left Manchester City, were to transfer to Galatasaray, it would happen thanks to Mertens.
'IF HE COMES, IT WILL BE THANKS TO MERTENS'
Mithat Halis, in his statements regarding the transfer agenda, said, 'Mertens brought Osimhen to Galatasaray. If Mertens hadn't spoken to him and given a full reference, he wouldn't have come. He is not an Italian agent like Gardi. He has the authority and is negotiating with Napoli. Mertens is the one who spoke to Osimhen and convinced him for Galatasaray. If Galatasaray brings Kevin De Bruyne this summer, it will also be thanks to Mertens. Mertens has done a great job for Galatasaray not only on the field but also in terms of transfers. His son Ciro has become the club's mascot.'
'MIKEL WANTS TO TAKE HIM TO CHELSEA'
Halis, who stated that former Chelsea player Obi Mikel wants to take Osimhen to Chelsea, said, 'For every successful player like Osimhen, the first choice in England is now Liverpool. Former player Obi Mikel wants to take him to Chelsea. It is possible; they can realize it because Chelsea has a very high payment capacity. But if Osimhen is not going to stay at Galatasaray, he would want to play in Liverpool in Europe.'
