His contract was «unilaterally terminated», according to a press release from Galatasary, which accuses the midfielder of having «damaged the image of the club and the reputations of the club's board members and constituted a persistent violation of the contract and club's internal disciplinary regulations».

In 2019, the 31-year-old Moroccan international was notably booed, after being replaced in a match against Real Madrid. «In return, he insulted the fans», recalls L'Equipe . Belhanda started his professional career in Montpellier (France) in 2009. He joined Galatasaray in 2017, after a season where he was loaned to OGC Nice by Dynamo Kiev.
