It has been claimed that Jhon Duran, who left Fenerbahçe, wants to transfer to Galatasaray. Yağız Sabuncuoğlu's statements and Abdullah Kavukcu's words, "They are sending news to come to us," have strengthened the transfer rumors.
Striking developments are unfolding regarding Jhon Duran, one of the most talked-about names of the transfer period. It was claimed that the Colombian striker, who left Fenerbahçe, sent a message to Galatasaray through his agent. While transfer rumors stirred up the agenda at the yellow-red club, statements from journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu and Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. executive Abdullah Kavukcu drew attention.
YAĞIZ SABUNCUOĞLU: HE IS STRIVING TO GO TO GALATASARAY
Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu claimed during a broadcast that Jhon Duran wants to transfer to Galatasaray. In his statement, Sabuncuoğlu noted that Duran's agent had previously facilitated the transfer of Asprilla to Galatasaray and has strong ties with the club.
Sabuncuoğlu said, "When he left Fenerbahçe, they offered Duran to Galatasaray, but it didn't happen at that time. Since his departure, Duran has been striving to go to Galatasaray. If the Galatasaray management makes a move, they will finalize this transfer."
NOTEWORTHY WORDS FROM ABDULLAH KAVUKCU
Statements made by Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. executive Abdullah Kavukcu after the championship also strengthened the Jhon Duran claims. Speaking without naming names, Kavukcu said that some footballers who previously chose other clubs now want to come to Galatasaray.
Kavukcu drew attention with his words, "Footballers who wanted to come to us but went to other clubs are now sending word asking, 'Can we come to Galatasaray?' I won't name names; those who understand will understand."
AGENT DETAIL CAUSES EXCITEMENT
The claim that Duran's management company has close ties with Galatasaray excited the yellow-red fans. It was stated that the final decision for the 22-year-old forward, who is rumored to have shifted his route from Fenerbahçe to Galatasaray, will be made based on head coach Okan Buruk's report.
ZENIT PERFORMANCE DEBATED
Jhon Duran's performance, who plays for Russian Premier League side Zenit, fell short of expectations. The Colombian player scored 2 goals in 6 matches. It was notable that both goals came from penalties.
According to reports in the Russian press, it was claimed that the young footballer's market value dropped by approximately 7 million euros after his transfer to Zenit.
