Turkish giants on verge of signing Cardiff City star after contract talks break down – reports

Cardiff City defender Bruno Ecule Manga looks set to leave the club after a break down in contract talks.

The Gabon international, who’s contract expires next month had a faint chance in re-signing with the Bluebirds but it now seems according to Turkish outlet AMKSpor that contract talks between Cardiff City and the players representatives have broken down.

Manga’s agent believes that the player is warming to the idea of playing for the 20 time Turkish Süper Lig champions and that they will get a better deal if Manga signs with Galatasaray rather than remaining with Cardiff.

The 28 year-old has enjoyed a run in the side since April after a few months out with an injury and was played by Warnock even though Manga’s representatives had reportedly missed meeting with the Cardiff manager as he looked to tie the defender down to a longer deal.

Speaking to WalesOnline back in April, Warnock wasn’t optimistic that the £4m defender signed from Lorient in 2014, would sign a new deal.

“I can’t see Bruno staying at the club at he moment.”

However, there could be some hope of Manga staying at the club but a decision could be made as late as June.

Manga has made 67 appearances in a Cardiff City shirt, scoring 5 goals in the process. His performances in the 2015/2016 season saw him awarded the ‘Player of the Year’ award as his defensive performances and his ability as a ball-playing centre-back won over Bluebirds fans.

Fortunately for Cardiff, Warnock has spoken of a replacement already being lined-up for Manga should he leave and with Matthew Connolly, Sol Bamba and Sean Morrison all still at the club, the centre-back department still looks strong for Cardiff even despite his possible departure.

Agent talk again.

Of course he's gonna get a better deal at Galatasaray. Absolutely everyone would know that.

So why the chat with the press. It's because Bruno doesn't fancy Turkey.

Cardiff City star on verge of leaving club, contract talks break down, excited about move


Wednesday 10th May 2017

AMKSpor have reported Cardiff City defender Bruno Ecuele Manga is on his way to Galatasaray, with the Turkish giants very close to completing his transfer.

Contract talks between Manga and Cardiff City have now broken down, and subsequently manager Neil Warnock is planning life without him for next season.

AmkSpor claim Manga’s agent is pushing for a move because they believe they can get a better fee for their role in the deal, and that the Cardiff City player has also entertained the idea of playing for Galatasaray.


Galatasaray are looking to sign at least two central defenders this summer and the Gabonese international could be a very ‘economical’ option for them.

mangaThe 28-year old is also excited about the possibility of playing in European competition next season, with Galatasaray on the verge of qualifying for the Europa League.

Cardiff City still want the defender to remain with them, but the Championship club’s hopes of keeping him are becoming less and less likely.

Almost worth letting Bruno go so the club no longer have to deal with (and probably pay!) his agent.

Money grabbing agent. He obviously wants a nice pay out with Bruno moving. These feckin' parasites have ruined football. What ever happened to players doing their own deals. Bastards :(

He's a quality player but not i
Impossible to replace him with someone who doesn't get injured as much and won't be involved in the AFN

Every transfer opening he's leaving

It's like a merry-go-round

Finally glad to see him playing and the same old shit

He's going to be a big loss, he is our best centre half despite how well Sol has done and how much a Morrison has improved but I thought it was game over when he didn't feature in the squad last weekend. Will never understand how Tan and City let players like Bruno have their contracts run down so lose a big investment for free.
