Mamadou Niang, the Senegalese striker, returned to Besiktas in the winter after spending two seasons in Qatar with Al-Saad. Despite his move to Besiktas, Niang revealed that he had opportunities to return to Olympique de Marseille (OM) on multiple occasions.
In interviews, Niang expressed his deep affection for OM and his willingness to make financial sacrifices to return to the club. However, he mentioned that small details and issues behind the scenes prevented the moves from materializing. Despite his desire to return to the Vélodrome and defend the colors of OM, the opportunities did not come to fruition.
Niang emphasized that it was not about money for him but rather the strong emotional connection he had with the club. The striker spent significant time with OM, and the club holds a special place in his heart. Despite the missed opportunities, Niang continues to express his love for OM and the impact it had on his career.
