Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera has revealed that Claudio Taffarel is one of the main reason he joined the club.

“Taffarel is a legend for goalkeepers the world over but he is more than a legend in South America,” Muslera told FourFourTwo Turkey.

“The World Cup and everything else he won is still fresh in my memory, he is one of the main reasons I joined the club, it is an honour to work with him.”
