Galatasaray attacking midfielder, Aleksey Batrakov, has pushed back on the idea that stars only come to the Turkish League to wind down their careers, saying, “Maybe Mohamed Salah did that, but Victor Osimhen definitely did not.”
Batrakov, who gave an interview to Match TV, insisted that Osimhen fights until the very end on the pitch.
“I can’t say that footballers come to the Turkish League to spend the final stages of their careers,” Batrakov said, as quoted by HabersarKirmizi.
“Maybe Salah did that, but Osimhen definitely didn’t. He fights until the very end on the pitch.”
Salah joined Trabzonspor in August after leaving Liverpool in the summer, while Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a permanent transfer from Napoli last year.
