Daniel Pancu donated a significant amount to the victims of the earthquake in Turkey

Daniel Pancu, a former Besiktas and Bursaspor player, could not stay away from the devastating earthquake that rocked Turkey and made a significant donation to help the victims.

The current Romania youth football coach has put up for sale the gloves he wore in Besiktas’ 4-3 win over Feberbahce when he replaced Oscar Cordoba, who was relegated.

The gloves will go directly to the museum of Besiktas, and the money collected (approximately 25 thousand euros) will be a significant means of helping people in need after this tragedy.

“I wanted to make a similar gesture when there was a pandemic and the money was supposed to go to the hospital. The law did not allow it to be done in Turkey because the money had to stay there.

Now it is possible. I was in the gym, running on the treadmill, and I saw Demiral giving a shirt to Cristiano Ronaldo, and I remembered the gloves that were in the attic.

I took them to the attic, I have a lot of t-shirts there too. I want these gloves to go to the Beşiktaş museum. I am very concerned about this, so there will be no more auctions.

I have received many messages from people in Turkey. They will be taken over by someone from the Beşiktaş management. The amount is about 25,000 euros. The gloves will go to the museum.

If money from Besiktas fans continues to accumulate on this account, then that is another problem, I don’t care anymore.

This is the kind of match that happens once in a hundred years.

The auction was supposed to start at 100,000 euros, but I told those in charge that I wanted the gloves to go to the museum.” he said, reports Digi Sport.
