Galatasaray footballer Leroy Sane's wife, Candice Brook, has claimed that the girlfriend of one of his teammates sent the German international private messages in an attempt to flirt with him, suggesting that she deliberately avoided a confrontation despite the potential consequences within the club.
Brook made the allegation in an Instagram comment during an argument over Black American culture, responding to another social media user while defending her cultural identity.
In her response, Brook criticized the other user's comments about Black American culture, arguing that Black Americans have played an important role in shaping music, films, dance and style.
"It's called BLACK LOVE!!!!!! BLACK AMERICAN! It's MY CULTURE!" she wrote, before turning to what she described as an incident involving Sane and someone connected to his Galatasaray teammates.
"What's weird is the gala teammate of his who's GF DM Leroy tryna holla," Brook wrote, alleging that the girlfriend of a fellow player had contacted her husband with romantic intentions.
She then suggested that she had deliberately avoided confronting the woman, writing that she had let the situation slide.
Brook did not identify the teammate or his girlfriend, and her allegation has not been independently verified.
The social media exchange also included Brook's insistence that other users should stay out of matters concerning Black American culture.
In separate Instagram stories, she shared messages about protecting her peace and refusing to engage in further online arguments.
Brook also stated that her comment section would remain open but that her own responses were closed indefinitely.
The allegations surfaced as Galatasaray continued its football activities, although the source material contains no response from the club or the individuals referred to in Brook's comments.
