A WARNING ISSUED TO NEOM FC
In the statement made by the yellow-reds, it was stated, "It has been determined that some clubs have disregarded FIFA rules and held unauthorized meetings with the representatives of our players who are under contract."
Galatasaray's statement is as follows:
"As Galatasaray Sports Club, we are meticulously continuing our preparations for the new season of our men's football team. Our main goal is to compete with the strongest squad in both the Super League and the UEFA Champions League, bringing new successes to our community.
Within this plan, protecting our current player group, ensuring the stability of our squad, and making necessary reinforcements in required areas are among our priorities.
We are closely monitoring the transfer news regarding our players that have been circulating in the public recently. Every player in our squad is an important asset for our club. In addition to their contributions on the field, their sense of belonging and efforts make all Galatasaray fans happy.
However, we regret to state that, despite having rejected offers on several occasions, it has been determined that some clubs have disregarded FIFA rules and held unauthorized meetings with the representatives of our players who are under contract. These attempts are clearly against the ethical values of football and international regulations.
Galatasaray Sports Club has not remained silent in the face of such unethical contacts aimed at undermining the will and peace of our players, and necessary warnings have been sent to the relevant institutions. We would like to emphasize that we will follow this process with the utmost determination.
All our fans can be assured that Galatasaray will not only protect its squad but will also work decisively to strengthen it.
Respectfully announced to the public."
