Rafael Leao's transfer to Galatasaray has also brought a "boom" in the sale of the Portuguese's jerseys. Turkish media confirm that so far, in just a few days, 50 of them have been sold.
The "number 27" that Leao will wear is circulating among the Turkish team's fans and considering the traditional and great enthusiasm of the Turkish people, this is quite impressive. Leao was received like a champion in Turkey. It is still too early to see him on the pitch, but Rafa has regained his enthusiasm after difficult months at San Siro, amidst whispered whistles and strong criticism.
In Istanbul, the shirts are now seen on the streets, just as they were in Milan. However, he had never sold 50 shirts in three days, which shows that even for the Turks this transfer was good business.
