Mario Lemina visited our chairman Mustafa Cengiz after signing his contract and making his transfer to our club official. Vice-Chairman Abdurrahim Albayrak and Deputy Chairman Yusuf Günay was also present during the visit.

Here are the comments of our chairman and new signing about the transfer.

Mustafa Cengiz:

"We tried finish a lot of work in a very little timespan. Hopefully, we succeeded. We did our best to strengthen our squad to keep our champion title. For this our technical staaf needs a deep roster. We care and want to compete in all of the three competitions we are in: Champions League, Turkish Super League and Turkish Cup. We hope to reach the top of the world with players such as Lemina. First, top of our league, then top of the Champions League. His arrival makes us really happy. Because he as a signing chose us not because of money, because of our reputation and competitions we are in. He is going to be a great fit with his fighting character and good character."

Mario Lemina:

"I want thank everyone who contributed to make this transfer happen. We are going to play to the best of our abilities and compete in the highest level. We will get Galatasaray where it deserves as a great club. I think my arrival completes the squad as a whole. It's time to echo the name of Galatasaray once again."

"I want to thank our fans for the warm welcome they gave me with their messages and their support. They were an important factor for me to come here. I want to do my best for them when I am on the field."
