Badou Ndiaye signs two-year deal with Gaziantep, extending his turkish football journey
Senegalese midfielder Badou Ndiaye has officially signed a two-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Gaziantep, continuing his long-standing association with Turkish football. The 34-year-old, who has become a familiar name in Turkey’s top-tier league, will bring his wealth of experience to the Red and Black as they aim to strengthen their squad.
Ndiaye, a seasoned professional with a proven track record in Turkey, has made a significant impact in the Süper Lig over the years.
Having played 182 matches, scored 34 goals, and provided 24 assists, the Senegalese international has established himself as a reliable and dynamic midfielder.
His move to Gaziantep marks the latest chapter in a career that has seen him don the jerseys of several prominent Turkish clubs, including Osmanlispor, Galatasaray, Trabzonspor, Fatih Karagümrük, and most recently, Pendikspor.
Despite being a free agent following his departure from Pendikspor this summer, Ndiaye’s reputation and on-field capabilities ensured that he did not remain unattached for long.
Gaziantep, recognizing the value of his experience and leadership, moved quickly to secure his services.
The two-year deal reflects the club’s confidence in Ndiaye’s ability to contribute significantly to their ambitions in the Süper Lig.
Ndiaye’s signing is seen as a strategic move by Gaziantep’s head coach Selçuk İnan, who will be counting on the midfielder’s extensive experience in Turkish football to guide the team through a challenging season.
Known for his versatility, Ndiaye is expected to play a pivotal role in Gaziantep’s midfield, offering both defensive solidity and attacking support.
Throughout his career, Ndiaye has been known for his tenacity, vision, and ability to influence the game from the center of the pitch.
His time at Galatasaray was particularly notable, where he played a key role in the team’s domestic success, including winning the Turkish Cup and Super Cup.
His stints at Trabzonspor and Adana Demirspor further solidified his status as one of the most dependable midfielders in the league.
As Ndiaye embarks on this new journey with Gaziantep, the club and its supporters will be hopeful that his presence can help elevate the team’s performance.
With the league becoming increasingly competitive, Ndiaye’s experience could prove to be a vital asset in achieving Gaziantep’s objectives for the season.
For Ndiaye, this move represents not just a continuation of his career in Turkey, but also an opportunity to leave an enduring legacy in Turkish football.
As he prepares to take the field in the red and black of Gaziantep, all eyes will be on how the veteran midfielder adapts to his new environment and what he can achieve in the next two years.
