Former Galatasaray player Mbaye Diagne, who returned to Turkey to wear the jersey of 1st League team Amedspor, made special statements to beIN Sports.
"THE 3 BIG CLUBS WANTED ME"
Diagne, who revealed that he was wanted by the 3 big clubs of the Super League in the past, said, "If I were to transfer today at the same performance as a 26-year-old, I would estimate it would be around 40 million euros. At that time, big teams like Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe also wanted me. However, I chose Galatasaray; I loved Galatasaray very much."
"ICARDI AND OSIMHEN"
Evaluating the goal-scoring players of his former team Galatasaray, Diagne stated, "Icardi and Osimhen are very different players. When I look at Osimhen, he is a great player like me. He runs a lot, scores a lot, and jumps very well. Galatasaray is competing in both the Champions League and the Super League. They need both of these players."
''MAY GOD GRANT HIM 100 MORE YEARS OF LIFE''
The star striker, who used praise-filled words for Fatih Terim, said, "Fatih Terim is a father figure for me. He believed in me a lot during my transfer to Galatasaray. I love him very much, and I pray that God grants him 100 more years of life."
