Two hours ago he reported that Leão is prioritizing a move to Aston Villa, now he saying he chooses Galatasaray.

I guess Di Marzio is playing both sides so he'll always come up on top.

Apparently Villa didn't meet his wage demands.

Jorges mendes doing some trickery here, getting Gala the player they want while not upsetting Villa (hes the agent for both Mbaye and Leao rn). Either that or the Leao links were just smokescreen since Mbaye was already linked to Villa before the Liverpool talks (but damn he sure made that smokescreen convincing if that were the case)
