Galatasary’s vice president, Erden Timur has come out to say that Sofyan Amrabat waited for the club before MUFC swooped in. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the club already had everything agreed with Amrabat and his agent, but Manchester United came in late and hijacked everything.
Erden added that the player actually rejected other big teams to wait for MUFC, but it was still not meant to be.
His words, “We largely agreed with Sofyan Amrabat. With Fiorentina, we were at a level where we could reach a point. Manchester United came on Wednesday evening and as the player has said before, his former manager was also there… He rejected the big teams and waited for us, but it didn’t happen.”
WOW.
