Demba Ba reveals reason behind Istanbul Basaksehir departure

Demba Ba has revealed his contract was terminated by Turkish Super Lig side Istanbul Basaksehir since they wouldn't be able to give him regular playing time for the rest of the season.

The former Senegal international left Fatih Terim Stadium last month after his deal was ended, with rumours making the rounds that the decision was taken as a result of the argument he had with the manager of the club, Aykut Kocaman, over his insistence to fast during Ramadan.

The 36-year-old has now explained the reason behind his departure from the club and confirmed the row he had with Kocaman.
