“Seattle are all nice to me, especially the fans. I do not ever miss their support, but I’m only 29 years old and here I feel a little out of the loop,” Martins told calciomercato.com.
The former Wolfsburg, Newcastle United and Inter Milan star continued : “I would like to return to Europe, I’d like to try to play in Turkey win a place in the list of 23 of Nigeria for the World Cup, so I asked my agent Tekin Birinci to evaluate all the proposals.
“I miss playing in the Champions League, I’d wear the shirt of Galatasaray and return to work with Mancini, I already had in the days of Inter.”
