Twelve months ago, Dries Mertens was in the midst of a standoff with the management of Naples to try to obtain an extension of his beautiful and long adventure in Naples, which has become his home. A year later, the Louvanist finds himself in a more comfortable situation in Turkey. The contract he signed with Galatasaray was only for one season, but it included an option for a second year.
The Red Devil, who will turn 36 on May 6, had to prove his reliability for this option to be exercised. The club had agreed to this extension automatically on the sole condition of seeing him play 25 games. It’s been done since his tenure on Friday in the big victory once morest Kayserispor (6-0).
Dries Mertens, who scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists for his Turkish club, can therefore now take advantage of this end of the season which might end with the very first league title of his career. Thanks to its current series of 15 successes in 16 games, Galatasaray (66 points) in any case dominates Fenerbahçe (60) eight days before the end of the Süper Lig. It will then remain to be seen whether or not he will decide to honor this second year of contract. With his partner and his little boy Ciro, he seems to be enjoying his new life in Istanbul.
