Galatasaray has signed Mario Lemina, who was also wanted by Al Shabab, managed by Fatih Terim. Al Shabab had made a £1.6 million offer to Wolverhampton for Lemina, but the offer was rejected. Meanwhile, Galatasaray stepped in and completed the transfer for €2.5 million.
The detail of Fatih Terim in the transfer of Mario Lemina, who joined Galatasaray, drew attention. Fatih Terim, who manages the Saudi Arabian team Al Shabab, wanted to transfer his former student Mario Lemina from his time at Galatasaray.
FATİH TERİM WANTED HIM TOO
According to a report in Sözcü, it was stated that Galatasaray, which added the Gabonese footballer to its squad, made an unexpected move against the Arabian team. Al Shabab, managed by Fatih Terim, had offered a rental fee of 1.6 million pounds to Wolverhampton for Lemina's transfer.
THEY REJECTED THE OFFER
The English team rejected this offer. Just at that moment, Galatasaray intervened. According to the report in Sözcü, while Al Shabab was preparing to raise its offer, Galatasaray completed the transfer for 2.5 million euros.
It was also stated that Lemina's desire to play again for the yellow-reds, where he wore the jersey in 2019, played an important role in Galatasaray's completion of the transfer.
