Tanguy Ndombélé joined Galatasaray on loan from Tottenham Hotspur on September 4th, and the midfielder has played 123 minutes in seven games this season.
Milliyet journalist Nevzat Dindar stated earlier this month that the 26-year-old has struggled in Istanbul due to his weight.
According to Fotospor, the weight problem of the Tottenham-owned player “cannot be resolved to the desired level.”
According to the claims, the former Lyon player was 6kg overweight when he arrived in Istanbul, and the club’s doctors and dietitians immediately intervened. According to the outlet, his body fat percentage was 20%, with the goal of lowering it to 16.
However, ‘nothing has changed’ drastically as the 26-year-old’s weight has dropped by 2kgs and his body fat percentage has remained unchanged.
According to the report, his weight ‘continues to be a problem,’ and it may have an impact on his stay in Turkey.
According to another Fotospor report, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has ‘lost patience’ with the Tottenham player and is dissatisfied with his attitude and lack of professionalism.
The Turkish champions have the option to extend his stay, but according to the outlet, they will terminate his contract because he has ‘not contributed anything’ thus far.
Galatasaray have identified AZ Alkmaar‘s Dani de Wit as a possible replacement for Ndombélé, who is expected to leave in January. The former’s contract expires in 2024, and Galatasaray believe they can sign a new one for €1 million.
If this happens, Tottenham may have to find a replacement for the Frenchman in January.
