So 1.2 million euros. In addition, he aims at the future. He wants to perform there. And after reaching the top 4 in Turkey. He came, told me that if he has an offer he leaves and I told him that “if you have an offer, I'll chase you away!” Go and make your future, your money». I gave him my blessing and may he be healthy.
