Islam Slimani, the top scorer of the national team, has disclosed the reason behind his departure from the Brazilian league, opting instead to return to Europe, specifically to the Belgian league.
He expressed his happiness at returning to the Belgian championship through Mechelen, which currently holds the eighth position in the Belgian league this season with 28 points after 22 rounds.
Slimani, who had previously played for Anderlecht for six months, scoring a total of 9 goals, shared his thoughts on the official website of his new club Mechelen today, stating, “I always want to play at a high level.
That’s why I refused to stay in Brazil after my former team fell.
Playing in Belgium will help me maintain my level, so I am happy to return to Belgium, especially with this wonderful club.
I will do everything possible to contribute to improving the results.”
