ALI KOÇ'S STATEMENT: A NEW OFFER
Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç stated that they made a new offer to the Portuguese team for Benfica player Kerem Aktürkoğlu and are waiting for news.
In his statement, Ali Koç said, "Our coach really likes Kerem. We made considerable offers. Those offers were conditional: his coming to the Feyenoord match, his coming to the first league match, etc. We also promised not to play him against Benfica. In fact, we said let's write it in the contract. Instead of writing it in the contract, they provided it by bringing him in for five minutes in the match. However, as of the point we have reached, the offer you made is no longer valid. We made a new offer and are waiting for news."
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE TRANSFER?
Fenerbahçe had reached an agreement with Benfica for 22.5 million euros + 2.5 million euros in bonuses for Kerem Aktürkoğlu, but withdrew their offer on Thursday. Following this development, Kerem's flight plan to Portugal was canceled. Benfica also reacted strongly to Fenerbahçe's stance and halted transfer negotiations.
