Buruk stated, "The profile I am looking for is a player who can play as a right-back and a center-back. I am considering a right-footed player. We are looking for a player who can play both as a center-back and a right-back. We have two center-backs, and we are looking for a player we can use in case something happens to them."

Galatasaray's Super League coach Okan Buruk spoke after their 3-0 victory against Fatih Karagümrük.

"WE HAVE GOALKEEPER AND DEFENSE TARGETS"

In response to the question, "Are you considering a 10-number transfer to the midfield?" Buruk said, "I think Gabriel Sara plays that role and is a player who can play that role. His foot quality is very high. He needs to improve both his final passes and his penetrations around the penalty area. That might be one of our shortcomings today. Considering that Barış roamed a lot in the first half, I can say that our number of players in that area decreased significantly. We have the player structure that can make penetrations into the penalty area and can make those shots on passes made into the penalty area when coming from the wings, but I think we are not doing it correctly. We have thoughts about the squad. We also have time on our hands. We can make decisions regarding this. After Sane, our priority became Osimhen. After that, we have targets for a goalkeeper and a defender profile. After that, we cannot say that we will not acquire any players at all. After seeing our squad structure and game quality, we have time. We will have thoughts about this as well. For this, we need to sell players. It's always nice to acquire players; I wish we could always do that, but we pay a significant amount of money when acquiring players. It's not like it used to be. If you used to pay one lira, now you are paying three lira. Prices have risen significantly. Where will you use the budget? We say goalkeeper and defense. We will make decisions according to the budget. We have time on our hands. I think we will make these decisions from now on," he said.

"THE PROFILE I'M LOOKING FOR..."

Explaining the player profile he desires, Buruk said, "Right now, we have Davinson Sanchez and Abdülkerim. They carried the load last season. We used Kaan there. Arda also became a good option for us there. The profile I'm looking for is a player who can play as a right-back and a center-back. I am thinking of a right-footed player. A player who can play as a center-back and a right-back. We have two center-backs. We are looking for a player we can use if something happens to them."
