Galatasaray, currently leading the Süper Lig, will face Antalyaspor today in the 9th week of the league. The yellow-red team is calculating how to return from the challenging away game with 3 points.
Meanwhile, there is curiosity regarding the status of players whose contracts are set to expire at Galatasaray. One of these names is goalkeeper Muslera.
OKAN BURUK'S STATEMENT ON MUSLERA
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk, who was a guest on the program "Futbolun 100'ü" with Ersin Düzen on tv100 recently, said regarding Muslera's situation: "His intention is to return to his country at the end of the season. His intention is to return to his country when the season ends. He is very professional, he works very hard. I think he can play, he can continue. If you ask for my opinion, he has the characteristics to play as a goalkeeper. Last year and this year, he wanted to return to his country, to quit. His family is there. His children, his wife are there. He has the thought of returning to his country. He is the team captain. He is in control of the team and the community. He is an important character. He is also a very good goalkeeper. It is not easy to find a goalkeeper when Muslera leaves. How much will you pay to find a goalkeeper? Someone with the same professionalism, the same character, the same sense of belonging."
While claims that Galatasaray is searching for a goalkeeper to replace Muslera remain on the agenda, journalist Ali Naci Küçük revealed a critical detail in the Uruguayan goalkeeper's contract.
CRITICAL DETAIL IN MUSLERA'S CONTRACT
Stating that the contract Muslera extended last season is for 2 years, Küçük expressed that the experienced goalkeeper can stay at Galatasaray if he wishes to continue.
"HIS CONTRACT IS FOR 2 YEARS"
Küçük said the following:
“Muslera's contract is not for 1 year, but 2 years. There is a +1 year option clause. Muslera's opinion here is very important. If Muslera wants to continue, the contract will continue under the same terms. Muslera's decision is important here. There is no goalkeeper search for now. Muslera's opinion is very important. It would be very bold to say that his departure is certain. But the end of the movie is approaching. If Muslera says 'I will continue for 1 year', it is a low probability. Because he sent his family to Uruguay, he is staying here alone.
There is no goalkeeper model that has come to the forefront right now. The Galatasaray management will take 100 percent input from Muslera. Perhaps Muslera will even determine the new goalkeeper,” he said.
Muslera, whose market value is shown as 1.1 million euros according to Transfermarkt, has conceded 15 goals in the 11 matches he has played this season and kept a clean sheet in 3 matches.
