Two goals to open his tally in the league and an assist for Mauro Icardi. History of crowning a good performance once morest Alanyaspor (4-0) this Saturday, but also of remaining neck and neck with Fenerbahçe at the top of the Turkish Süper Lig ranking. Dries Mertens’ season with Galatasaray is finally underway. The fact remains that the former favorite of the Devils is not likely to return to the national team any time soon. “It doesn’t hurt me to no longer be called up,” admitted the attacker, on Extra Time (the equivalent of La Tribune, on VRT). I had a nice discussion with Domenico Tedesco. I got a lot of respect from him. He came all the way to Istanbul to speak with me. I found it very beautiful. He explained his vision to me. I’m very happy with how everything is going with the Devils. The youngsters and the slightly older pawns complement each other well. I understand that Tedesco opts for young guys who are more suited, maybe even stronger than me.”

The chances are minimal of seeing him add a 110th selection to his credit. But Mertens is not closing the door either. On the other hand, the striker, when talking regarding his future, does not entertain the idea of a possible return to the Pro League. “If I end my career next year (Editor’s note: his contract at Galatasaray ends in June 2024)? It’s 50-50. What if Jan Vertonghen calls me to do a year at Anderlecht? So I clearly say no. But I saw on Sunday that he still knew how to deliver good assists.”
