Serbian coach Okan Buruk, who is on his way to his fourth Super League championship, having won three in a row with Galatasaray, is receiving serious offers for the new season that could also confuse him.
ROMA HAS BEEN INTERESTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON
The 51-year-old coach, who has a contract with the yellow-red club until the end of the 2026 season, has been closely monitored by the Italian team Roma since the beginning of the season. The Italian representative is preparing to make an official offer to Okan Buruk.
SAUDI ARABIA HAS ALSO SHOWN INTEREST
The latest interest in Okan came from Saudi Arabia, where astronomical figures are being discussed. While the performance of Fatih Terim with Al Shabab is on the agenda, it has been learned that a team from the Saudi Pro League, which is among the top ranks, is gauging interest in Okan Buruk.
THEY WILL OFFER 3 TIMES WHAT HE RECEIVES FROM GALATASARAY
On the other hand, it has been reported that this team is considering offering the experienced coach a salary that is three times what he earns at Galatasaray. The Gulf team is expected to make an official move after the end of the season. Okan Buruk earns 110 million TL from Galatasaray. For the 2025-2026 season, an increase will be made based on the average rate of the Producer Price Index (ÜFE) and Consumer Price Index (TÜFE) determined by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK).
