Younes Belhanda: Galatasaray terminate Morocco midfielder’s contract

Galatasaray has announced the termination of Younes Belhanda’s contract for making statements that ‘damaged the image of the club’.

The Morocco international was axed from the team following his comment in the wake of the Yellow-Reds’ 2-2 draw against Sivasspor on Sunday.

Belhanda - who joined the Turkish giants from Dynamo Kiev in 2017 - stated management of the team should take care of the pitch rather than spending time on social media.
