This Thursday morning, the Turkish daily Milliyet set fire to the powder announcing that Bafetimbi Gomis has claimed a salary increase to its leaders that they would not want to grant him, and that in the event interesting offer for Galatasaray he could leave. Representatives of the international tricolor who comes out of an exceptional season in Turkey (29 goals in 33 games and a title of champion) wanted to make an update on the situation of their protégé. And the least we can say is that the latter will make a big noise in Turkey.
One of the agents of the player did not hide that Bafé Gomis was very disappointed in front of the turn taken by the events. "Today, Bafé Gomis is inevitably disappointed" explains Patrick Mendy, before going into more detail on the reasons for his disappointment. "It is important to explain the reasons. When he signed at Galatasaray last summer, he wanted to sign for 4 years with a bigger salary. In the end, we agreed on a three-year contract with the salary he currently has. From there, we had a discussion with management that if the year went well, we would see each other at the end of the season to discuss its conditions again. The year went well beyond our expectations as Bafé finished the record for the top foreign scorers in the Turkish league and Galatasaray finished the championship.
Galatasaray clearly opens the door to a departure for Gomis
So obviously, representatives of the international tricolor (12 caps – 3 goals) have revived the leadership of the club Istanbul. But this one had changed and the speech had suddenly evolved, reports Patrick Mendy. "As agents, we went back to the club to go in the direction of the discussion initiated at the signing of the contract last summer. It is true that in the meantime the management has changed, but the club remains an entity, it is normal to discuss around that especially as Bafé has always been professional, he has invested a lot on and off the pitch for the team. Then, the club told us that an increase was not possible for Gomis and for all players, that they could not do anything because of a payroll framed after a UEFA sanction.
And listening to Bafétimbi Gomis's agent, it's not just a big money story. Patrick Mendy recalls in particular that his protégé was one of the few players not to complain about the late payment of salary in Galatasaray. "We can also add that Bafé is reproached for thinking only about money when he is one of the few players who has never solicited FIFA for late payment by mail. up to 5 months while some club players were paid. To support his remarks, Patrick Mendy also indicates that he tried to find an arrangement with the management of the club Istanbul after this first refusal to increase. The idea being to extend the contract to current conditions with a conversion to the club, proof of his commitment to the Turkish team. "We have been proposed, as Bafé's first desire is to stay at Galatasaray and that he has already refused concrete offers, to extend the contract of one season with the same salary and a possible conversion because Bafé Gomis would like to stay in Turkey to help the club.
But here again, Bafé Gomis and his representatives were dismissed. "But again, the management of Galatasaray told us that it was not possible and that in any case if the situation did not suit him, he could leave and worse, that if there was an offer, they would let him go. Of course, Bafé does not feel considered in relation to the investment provided for the club, hence his disappointment. The case is still in its infancy and the ball is now in the camp Galatasaray, which, at the latest news, has not really shown a real desire to keep it …
