Winter transfer window has been used for a change of employer by a familiar face on the Slovenian football fields, Aldair. The 31-year-old winger, who initially shone in the jersey of Sežana’s Tabor in Slovenia and later wore the colors of Ljubljana’s Olimpija for two years, moved to Turkey last summer, but his stint in the posh Bodrum was short-lived.
After just half a year, Aldair changed his employer again, but he will continue to play in Turkey. However, while he could enjoy the popular tourist gem before, he will now reside in Urfa, a city located in the middle of a vast open plain, about 80 kilometers east of the Euphrates. Summers there are extremely hot and dry, while winters are humid and cold. The population is mostly Kurdish, with a considerable Arab and Turkish minority.
The club based in Urfa that offered refuge to the speedy Portuguese is called Sanilurfaspor, where, among others, the long-time Luxembourgish international Olivier Thill also plays. Aldair will continue to play in the second Turkish league, where he scored one goal and registered one assist in twelve matches in the fall. The only difference is that Bodrum was fighting for promotion to the elite, while Aldair’s new club is trembling at the prospect of relegation back to the third tier.
