Farewell message from İstanbulspor to Diarra

Trendyol 1st League team İstanbulspor published a farewell message for Gaoussou Diarra, who transferred to Feyenoord. The message published on the yellow-black team's social media account said, "He became a part of this family. With his struggle, his stance, his smile... He contributed a lot in a short time, he left a lot of memories. A new beginning for you, and pride for us. May your path always be open Gaoussou."

Gaoussou Diarra, who had no previous professional football experience, came to Istanbul from his hometown of Mali for university education. After coming to Türkiye, Diarra signed a professional contract with Tuzlaspor while studying and left the club due to his lack of playing time on the team and the foreigner rule. The Malian footballer, who participated in trial training at Istanbulspor at the beginning of last season, caught the attention of Technical Director Osman Zeki Korkmaz and signed an official contract with Istanbulspor.

Playing in 37 matches in all competitions for İstanbulspor last season, Diarra scored 16 goals and had 2 assists.
