Total madness!!!
Fenerbache has killed Careers and not everything is money, the fans and the city adore you. You are taking them to the champions league, let the fans protest for you to get the amount you seek instead of jumping the ship to a team that you’re playing better than. SMH this is arrant madness!
At his age I think he should be leaning towards retirement,so career may not be top of his priority.
Let’s say he got 3years of football left,he may want to make all the money he could before then besides Fenerbahce is a bigger club than his current side despite Trabzonspor’s great run this season.He could still achieve champions League football with Fenerbahce,they are one of the best Turkish sides.
What about Champions league ambitions? This is sad for me our players are just money oriented before excellence. Why is Ronaldo not headed to Dubai or Messi to China? Age is a number when you make up your mind to chase Excellence! As of today Trabzonspor is the best team in Turkey, moving to Fenerbache is a step down.
