Bakery Jatta Eager for German Passport: HSV Star Jatta Details Citizenship Plans
Person desires German nationality: HSV Pro Jatta seeks German passport - German footballer Jatta aims for German citizenship
Bakery Jatta, HSV's spirited footballer, isgearing up to make his dream a reality - applying for a German passport. The 27-year-old, who's been calling Germany home since 2015, expressed his desire to officially become a part of the community. "I've settled well here, I'm content in Germany, and I yearn to be German," he shared with the "Hamburger Abendblatt" in a comprehensive interview. His attorney is already taking the necessary steps.
Having fled Gambia and making a name for himself on German soil since 2016, Jatta's journey hasn't been without controversy. In 2019, rumors circulated about his supposed false identity, with "Sport Bild" suggesting he might be Bakary Daffeh. This stirred up investigations and media frenzy surrounding the HSV player.
All charges were dropped in 2024. Reflecting on those tumultuous times, Jatta described them as his most challenging period. "It hit me hard," he admitted.
His future at HSV?
"Not a single soul told me to my face that I wasn't Baka, that I had to leave Hamburg or Germany. But unfortunately, there's an online world," Jatta elaborated. "Mistakes were made, scrolling through Instagram, where some harsh words were written." That period was "rough".
Jatta remains thankful to HSV for their unwavering support during those tough times. "I must admit, it's tough to envision playing for any other club but HSV in the future," he confesses.
