Dries Mertens Transfer from Galatasaray to Napoli
Dries Mertens, recently retired from Galatasaray, is considering extending his career for one more season. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, he mentioned the possibility of continuing his career, potentially with Napoli alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku. However, he has not made a definitive decision about his retirement and wants to take some time to think about it.
Dries Mertens, who has an expiring contract with Galatasaray, is speculated to make a sensational return to Napoli. Mertens is very popular in Napoli, being the club's all-time top scorer, and he still owns property there. His contract with Galatasaray ends on June 30, and it is rumored that he will not extend it, making a move back to Napoli a real possibility. Additionally, there is talk of Mertens joining the Napoli staff in a new role. He will be named an honorary citizen of Napoli soon.
Dries Mertens, who considered retiring at the end of last season but continued for another year due to Galatasaray's insistence, has been underperforming recently. Galatasaray does not plan to offer him a new contract at the end of the season. He is likely to join his former club Napoli's coaching staff next season.
Napoli, the former team of Dries Mertens, has entered the picture. Mertens, who visited his former team in the past few days, was reportedly offered a coaching role. The Belgian star stated he hasn't yet decided to retire from football and is focused on the success of Galatasaray.
