Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim has confirmed that Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye will be returning on loan within the next 48 hours.
Speaking in the post-match press conference following the victory over Goztepe on Sunday, Terim made it clear that Ndiaye has agreed terms with the club.
“Ndiaye will join us by Monday or Tuesday, we did a good job loaning back a player we sold for a high fee,” he said.
The Senegal midfielder made it clear through his representatives that he does not want to play in the Championship this season.
The midfielder has not featured for Stoke since his poor showing against Leeds United on the opening weekend of the season.
Ndiaye has been running out of time and options as far as a Stoke exit is concerned with the transfer window now shut in England and the Serie A market having ended.
The 27-year-old spent a year-and-a-half at Galatasaray after joining Osmanlispor in summer 2017 and he has previously played in Norway for Bodo/Glimt.
