Eto’o to stay in Turkey despite political instability

The Antalya club does not intend to part ways with its captain and star striker. Due to the unstable political situation in Turkey, many players wish to pack, like Mario Gomez, who left the Besiktas.

That was enough to evoke a possible departure Samuel Eto’o (35). But by publishing a statement on its official website, the Turkish club has made things clearer.

“Samuel Eto’o is our leader, our best player. (…) he will be our captain this season, and we still have a good time to share to go further with our contractual relationship. (…) letting go a player like Eto’o is impossible. It’s not in our plans, it never will be, “warned the club ranked 9th in the last Turkish league, in the columns of Maxifoot.

Samuel Eto’o contract with Antalyaspor runs until June 2018.
