While the joy of the victory with the last second goal against Trabzonspor continued in the Galatasaray community, another development took place that would increase the excitement level to the highest level. In a photograph that appeared in the morning hours after the match, it was seen that manager George Gardi, who brought many star players to the yellow-red club, was watching the match with Carlos Novel, the representative of Paulo Dybala, who plays for Roma.
These two names will play the match against Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. He watched it together with Kavukçu in the lodge of director Abdullah Kavukçu. The fact that Kavukçu, who started to work in Galatasaray this season, was constantly working on foreign transfers, was interpreted as the yellow-reds taking action to transfer Dybala.
On the other hand, the curtain of mystery behind the photo taken of Okan Buruk with Abdullah Kavukçu and George Gardi in a restaurant in Rome during the national break last month was also revealed. It was learned that the experienced coach met with the Argentinian star football player during that trip and subsequently accelerated the process for Galatasaray's transfer efforts.
Metin Öztürk also confirmed
While the sports public was abuzz with this transfer news, Galatasaray Vice President Metin Öztürk spoke at the press conference held for the club's sponsorship agreement ceremony. Answering the question of Dybala, Öztürk said:
“There will definitely be those who join us and those who leave during the interim transfer period. The progress will be made in line with the demands of Okan coach and the scout team. I don't care about football. I know they have initiatives, but the decision maker is Okan Hodja.”
It was learned that Paolo Dybala's salary expectation from Galatasaray will be around 10 million euros per year, and Roma, who have sacrificed the player, will not have any problems regarding the transfer fee. The Argentinian star player scored two goals and made one assist in 18 matches in all competitions this season.
Roma Coach Claudio Ranieri spoke
Following the developments, Claudio Ranieri, the experienced coach of the Roma club where Dybala plays, spoke. The Italian coach said:
“I would like to see Dybala in my team, but if he has other priorities, both parties need to be happy. If a player wants to leave, I want only happy players to remain in my team. However, I have not seen any of my players requesting separation for now.”
