At the age of 30, Batshuayi no longer pays for a talented sharpshooter, as was the case a few seasons ago in the jersey of Chelsea or Dortmund. Nevertheless, in the 2021/2022 season, he netted 14 goals for Besiktas, and during the next two seasons at Fenerbahce, he scored a total of forty-four times. But his contract ended and he decided to take a step that part of the public does not accept with understanding.
“I understand the significance of my decision and this signature. I don’t forget who I am and where I come from, but I also know where I’m going,” Batshuayi wrote on social media. He claims that he primarily wanted to stay in Istanbul. “The city has a special place in my heart. Since January, I have been waiting for the renewal of confidence for the upcoming season,” he added.
He sees Istanbul as an ideal place to live. It is said that the clubs in which he worked gave him new energy. And so are the Turkish fans. That’s why he wanted to stay. “I have accepted a new challenge. I decided to join Galatasaray, expressing my affection for Istanbul and the Turkish Super League,” explained the striker nicknamed Batsman. His new employer also introduced him in the style of a popular comic character.
Let’s recall the phenomenal battle for the title in the past season. Galatasaray collected an incredible 102 points and Fenerbahce only three less. A huge gap followed, Tranzonspor finished the year on 67 points.
But the move also has a very dark background that goes beyond football. Even before the official confirmation, Amela Maria’s wife admitted on social networks that she was going through a difficult time. “Shame on those who threaten our family and wish my child dead just because of football. What a shame!!!” she fumed. “Racism and death threats? God sees you all,” she said.
The rivalry between the two Istanbul-based clubs is one of the fiercest in world football. Fans comment on the signature with unflattering messages or collages of the Belgian striker and banknotes. Batshuayi signed a three-year contract at RAMS Park and will earn an average of 75 million crowns per season. He should also receive the same amount divided into the mentioned period in bonuses.
At the same time, he is the first foreign footballer to sign with all three of the biggest Turkish clubs.
The whole story provoked some people again. “Don’t bother sending me 10 million messages to tell me a bunch of nonsense. I will not answer. I will always be proud of him wherever he goes. I will not delete any previous photos. We are proud of where he worked. I thank the Fenerbahce fans for their love and understanding. As you know, everything comes to an end. I’m happy to be part of a new adventure in the country I love so much,” shared Amely Maria.
