in Turkey it helps families affected by the earthquake – Corriere.it

Nicol Zaniolo as Dries Mertens and many other players who are currently playing in the Turkish league. The former Roma playmaker, who grew up in the Inter youth team, will be the new teammate of the Belgian, ex Napoli, at Galatasaray, in Turkey. Country battered by the earthquake that caused over 12 thousand deaths. As soon as he landed in Istanbul, Zaniolo joined his companions to deliver the parcels containing food and basic necessities to be handed over to the victims of the violent earthquake. Images shared by the club.

Rome and the controversies

The playmaker has thus lent a hand in this truly devastating moment for Turkey and Syria. Then the same thing was also done by another Galatasaray player (and not only him), Mertens. Already in Naples, the Belgian showed that he has a heart of gold and is always on the front line to help the weakest. Now it’s up to Nicol: this is to help Zaniolo something important to start his new adventure. A duty for a boy who left our league not without controversy with Roma and their former fans. Galatasaray supporters also had some doubts about him, who would have preferred not to buy the player. So that money would have gone to charity to deal with the great emergency. The fact is that in this dramatic climate, all the protagonists of the transfer have maintained a constant low profile, silent without ever emphasizing the purchase.

His arrival in silence

Only a hint from the Turkish Football Federation in announcing that it had requested and obtained from Fifa an extension of the current market window in order to be able to ratify the exchanges later. Furthermore, Zaniolo has made a donation for the victims of the earthquake. And the images of him unloading the aid packages have been making the rounds on social media. As well as the video in which he says: I am very sorry for Mohammed, referring to a young fan victim of the earthquake. And for all the Turkish people. I gave my contribution, let’s all do it. Let’s all stay together and we will be stronger than before.
