The claim that Galatasaray Sportif A.S. Vice President Abdullah Kavukcu closed his social media account due to fearing fan reactions to transfers has been proven false. It was stated that Kavukcu's account was not closed voluntarily, but was suspended due to a spam attack.

The background of the allegations regarding the social media account of Galatasaray Sportif A.Ş. Vice President and Galatasaray Sports Club Board Member Abdullah Kavukcu has become clear.

ACCOUNT CLOSED DUE TO SPAM ATTACK

During the friendly match where the red-yellow team faced Villarreal and lost 2-1, fans showed transfer-related reactions to President Dursun Özbek and his management. After the match, various news emerged on social media suggesting that Abdullah Kavukcu had closed his own social media account. However, it was stated that Kavukcu did not suspend or close his account; the account was blocked due to a cyber spam attack. 

EFFORTS HAVE BEEN INITIATED

Following the development, the communication team of the red-yellow club took action and contacted Instagram management, initiating the necessary official processes to reactivate the account. With the completion of the ongoing technical work, the account is expected to be accessible again within a short time.
