Speaking to Talents d’Afrique on Canal+, Aboubakar said: “We talked a bit and his [Ronaldo’s] opinion was that he wanted me to stay.

“I told him no, that I will leave for family reasons.

“He asked me where my family was, I told him they are in France and so I prefer to go to Turkey, it’s closer.

“And he told me it’s better, if your family is really far away, it’s more complicated. I was firm, I wanted to leave.”
