To Mehmedi & Sahin in Turkey
Luiz Adriano is about to return to Europe or at least to a European league. The 34-year-old Brazilian, whose contract with Palmeiras São Paulo expired after a year and a half at the end of January, is on his way to Turkey. There he should be loud Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano sign a contract until June 2023 with Antalyaspor, which plays its home games in the Asian part of the country.
Luiz Adriano first moved from his homeland to Europe in 2007 when he went to Shakhtar Donetsk for 3 million euros. For the Ukrainians, the attacker was directly involved in 171 goals in 266 competitive games (130 goals, 41 assists) and scored a five-pack in 2014 against BATE Borisov in the Champions League – only Lionel Messi has managed that since the competition was introduced in 1992/93. The following summer, AC Milan paid €14m for the striker’s services, but he was unable to make a lasting impression with the Rossoneri. The move to the Süper Lig follows via Spartak Moscow and Palmeiras.
