The transfer process of young player Adem Yeşilyurt from the 3rd League 4th Group team Karşıyaka to the Maribor club in Slovenia has become uncertain. The player's and his family's reluctance to go to Slovenia means that the transfer may be canceled.
A surprising development occurred in the transfer of Adem Yeşilyurt, who was decided to be sold to Acun Ilıcalı's club Maribor in Slovenia despite the interest from Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe due to his performance with the Karşıyaka jersey in the 3rd League 4th Group. It was learned that the 19-year-old right winger and his family did not want to transfer to Slovenia. The Maribor side, which shook hands with Karşıyaka President Aygün Cicibaş through agents for Adem last Thursday, has not yet taken any official steps regarding the contract and transfer fee. If no serious offers come from Turkey or major leagues in Europe, the likelihood of Adem staying at home during the mid-season transfer window has increased.
Karşıyaka had agreed with Maribor for a transfer fee of 600,000 Euros and a 40% share from any future sale for Adem, who scored against Uzbekistan in his first match with the U19 National Team on Sunday. According to the agreement made when the player's professional contract was signed in December, 10% of the transfer fee will be given to Pınargücü, one of İzmir's amateur teams. If Adem goes to Acun Ilıcalı's team Hull City in England, Karşıyaka would earn 2.5 million Euros from this transfer. Adem, who is still in the U19 National Team camp, will wear the jersey again in the match against Uzbekistan tomorrow. The young footballer will then rejoin the team. Adem played in 5 league matches in the starting 11, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.
3 MORE SIGNATURES EXPECTED
After starting the second half of the season with a goalless draw against Afyonspor, Karşıyaka turned to transfers, falling 4 points behind the leader Kütahyaspor, whom they will host in a crucial match on Saturday. With 7 players leaving the team, Kaf-Kaf, who has so far made 4 reinforcements discovered by head coach Burhanettin Basatemür, 3 of whom are from amateur leagues, is looking to transfer a striker, a center-back, and a number 8.
TENSE CHARTER CONGRESS
The charter congress of Karşıyaka, which has been discussed for weeks and aimed to reduce the number of members by expelling those who do not pay dues to pave the way for corporatization, was tense. Only 138 out of more than 5,000 total club members attended the congress held at Zübeyde Hanım Nikahevi. At the congress, the period required for members who do not pay dues to be expelled was reduced from 6 years to 2 years. Members with 2 years of unpaid dues will be announced on the club's website, and if they do not pay within 14 days, they will be expelled from membership. By removing passive members and reducing the number of members, Karşıyaka will try to gather the 3/4 majority of the total number of members legally required for the decision to corporatize in the upcoming process.
At the congress, where each item was discussed for a long time, the entrance fee for membership was set at 7,500 TL instead of 10,000 TL, and the annual fee was determined to be 1,500 TL, while committees such as the advisory board and the museum and history board were abolished. Many proposed amendments to the charter did not receive the approval of the members. The 5-year membership requirement to vote remained at 3 years. The condition for club membership, which was planned to be reduced to 15 years to enter the council, did not change from 25 years. Similarly, the requirement of 1 year of club presidency to enter the council remained the same. It was planned for the council of Karşıyaka to be strengthened to have authority over management for corporatization and facility development.
After the charter congress, the Karşıyaka management stated, "We have all together presented a very valuable picture. Everyone spoke, everyone listened, everyone expressed their opinions freely. The greatness of Karşıyaka lies exactly here. We can argue, but in the end, we know how to find common ground. We sincerely thank all our community members who contributed with their efforts, views, and suggestions. We will never compromise on our understanding of transparency, justice, and unity. As the board of directors, we will continue to work tirelessly for the interests of Karşıyaka. Now is the time to unite, to come together, and to overcome all kinds of difficulties together."
