OUSMANE DIABATE AT NEWCASTLE UNITED
Diabate reached an agreement with Premier League side Newcastle United. Under the agreement, Diabate will play on loan at Genclerbirligi until the end of the season. The Guinean footballer, who agreed with the English club for a cash fee of 2.5 million Euros, will earn his former club 600 thousand Euros from the sale. Genclerbirligi will also be able to obtain 500 thousand Euros in performance bonuses from Diabate, and he will earn the capital team money for every match he plays.
WILL STAY AT GENCLERBIRLIGI FOR 1 MORE YEAR
Under the agreement, Diabate, who will play on loan at Genclerbirligi for one more year, will have his annual salary of 400 thousand Euros paid by Newcastle, who will also give a 5 percent share from any future sale. It was stated that if the English club wants Diabate back during the mid-season transfer window, they will pay Genclerbirligi a fee specified in the contract.
BRENTFORD WAS ALSO INVOLVED
Earlier, Brentford, another Premier League team, was also among those who knocked on Genclerbirligi's door for the transfer of Ousmane Diabate. Talks ended negatively after club president Arda Cakmak rejected the offer of 2.4 million Euros to be paid in installments. President Cakmak stated that an agreement was reached with Newcastle for the Diabate transfer with cash payment and that they carried out a comprehensive sale. (DHA)
