“Many people called me to tell me that Iliman was going to leave. But rest assured, he is not going anywhere.”

“He called me this morning. I even teased him with a few words in Arabic, and we laughed about it. He let me know that he had no intention of going to Saudi Arabia.

“He knows he can earn a lot of money there, but he also believes that his level may decline,” he concluded. “He is not the type to prefer money over his career.”

“He’s not the type to prioritise money over his career. His goal is to win another Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal, win the World Cup, and one day become a Ballon d’Or winner. That’s what motivates him today.”
