Ibrahim Sangaré is playing his third season with PSV Eindhoven. Despite the huge signals from other clubs, the former Toulouse midfielder continues to wear the crest of the Dutch club, which surprises his coach.
Ibrahim Sangaré is still a player of PSV Eindhoven. This, despite big performances for several seasons now. In ball recovery, projection, and even in front of the goals, the Ivorian midfielder impresses. This season, the 25-year-old player has already scored 4 goals in the league, 6 in all competitions. So, everyone expected him to leave, even his coach, Ruud van Nistelrooij.
The latter, when asked if this was a miracle, did not hesitate. "I think so, yes (it is a small miracle). I am surprised that no one came, that someone did not come quickly with a very large bag of money. I am very happy about that. But for a long time I thought: this club will probably be around the corner, "said the former Manchester United player in a press conference on Friday. Moreover, Ibrahim Sangaré could have joined the Premier League this summer as well as this winter.
Chelsea has shown interest in the player, as well as Tottenham. But Ibrahim Sangaré has not moved yet. During the break for the World Cup, PSV played AC Milan in a friendly. Sparkling in midfield, the Ivorian international (24 caps, 5 goals) had, in a way, scared his coach. The latter was resigned to see him leave.
"I think it was his best game so far. I thought if they were careful, they'd come and get him in no time. That was impressive. But he's having a good time here, developing well and wants to take the steps here. We are of course very happy with him. You never know with his qualities. But fortunately, this call from another club never materialized". Finally remained, Ibrahima Sangaré flourishes in the Netherlands. Until when? It's a mystery.
