Fernando Muslera bid farewell to Galatasaray in a ceremony held for him. Speaking at the press conference, Galatasaray Club President Dursun Özbek announced Muslera's new role.

Dursun Özbek's statements are as follows;

Özbek said, "I especially wanted to be here next to Nando. I want to thank him for the effort, dedication, and sacrifice he has given to Galatasaray until now. Nando is no longer a foreign player for us; he is one of us. He is a very valuable brother who has sweated for the yellow-red jersey for 14 seasons. A very valuable Galatasaray fan who stood tall on the field even in the toughest times, never shied away from the fight, and led his teammates. He has a signature in all the successes our football team has achieved recently. Moreover, he is an important person who has won the hearts of all sports fans in Turkey not only with his performance on the field but also with his smiling face and gentlemanliness.

We have seen children and young people in this country walking around in Nando's jersey and going to matches. I think there are very few goalkeepers and athletes in our country who can have this pride. I am very happy and proud about this; during my time serving Galatasaray, I signed contracts with him for 3 terms. Our relationship has now reached a brotherly level.

"WE SIGNED A PROTOCOL"

I am not bidding farewell to him here; this is not a farewell meeting. Because I believe that Nando has an important place in world football. We discussed the matter for the upcoming period, and we even signed a contract, a protocol. He will continue to serve Galatasaray in the future and will work internationally for the success of Galatasaray. Thanks to characters like Nando, who embody the values of Galatasaray and our glorious history, our club will continue to grow every day," he said.
