You immediately accepted me and showed me the requirements of wearing the OM jersey. I experienced my first minutes in the French elite alongside you, realized my childhood dream by participating in the Champions League and won the first CAN in the history of Senegalese football. Yes, there were complicated moments. But your unfailing support, particularly at the Orange Vélodrome, will leave me with unforgettable memories. I thank all the players, coaches, technical staff and employees that I was able to meet during my time at the club. And of course you, dear supporters known all over the world, I will certainly miss that feeling on match day when the city stopped living.”confided the Senegalese international.

Thank you again for welcoming me into your home and letting me experience some crazy atmospheres. Today, I leave with a heart full of emotions. I will never forget what I experienced with you. Thank you everyone and see you soon ! »
