Çağrı Balta, who plays for Galatasaray, rejected the offer from the yellow-reds and transferred to Fenerbahçe, putting his father Hakan Balta in a difficult situation. It was stated that Hakan Balta, a former captain of Galatasaray and a club member, would be referred to the Disciplinary Committee.
The former captain of Galatasaray and one of its legendary players, Hakan Balta's son, Çağrı Balta, who grew up in the yellow-red team's youth academy, transferred to Fenerbahçe after rejecting the club's professional contract offer. The transfer of 17-year-old Çağrı to the yellow-navy team caused a major crisis.
GALATASARAY WILL REFER HAKAN BALTA TO THE DISCIPLINARY BOARD
Journalist Burhan Can Terzi made a striking claim, stating that Galatasaray will refer its club member Hakan Balta to the Disciplinary Board.
''YOU CANNOT ACT IN THIS WAY''
Speaking in a program he attended, Burhan Can Terzi said, "Galatasaray management is considering disciplining Hakan Balta. The Disciplinary Board needs to make a decision here. I believe Hakan Balta should not remain a member of Galatasaray. Because you cannot do this to a club that brought you from Manisa in 2007, then made you captain, and after you retired from football, gave you the U19 coaching position. You cannot act in this way towards this club. You cannot remain a club member while your son is taken by Fenerbahçe without reaching an agreement with Galatasaray. Therefore, you cannot remain a club member. He needs to resign from his club membership without waiting for the decision of the management and the Disciplinary Board."
