OMAR ELABDELLAOUI MADE A STATEMENT
Omar Elabdellaoui released a statement from his social media account after the separation allegations.
Here is Omar’s statement; “Dear Galatasaray family, instead of believing the news about me in the media, I wanted you to learn the truth from me. My pre-season manager informed me that there are offers from some teams that want me. After talking to our coach and telling me that he was in their plans, I told my manager to forget all other offers and to stay here and help the team. I said I wanted to be.
Just a few days ago, just before the closing of the transfer season; Cenk Ergün told me that the club wanted me to find a new team for myself. I conveyed to him that this was a surprise to me but that if the club wanted it that way, I would tell my manager to find a team immediately, even though there was very little time left.
When I convey this to my manager, he will take care of the issue and do his best; He told me to continue training and stay in shape during this period. Since then, I haven’t heard anything from the club or my manager about finding a team.
No matter what some people say, my love and respect for this club continues. Normally, I don’t go out and talk about what is said in the media, but I felt that someone was trying to blind me, so I had to make a statement. I have never forgotten and will never forget your prayers and support for me. believe me.
I will always wish my team and all my Galatasaray family success.”
