In the winter transfer period, Galatasaray, which added Ahmed Kutucu, Alvaro Morata, Mario Lemina, Carlos Cuesta, and Przemyslaw Frankowski to its squad, knocked on Trabzonspor's door for Eren Elmalı, after Şenol Güneş announced that he would stay with the team in the last hours of the transfer.
WHAT DID ŞENOL GÜNEŞ SAY?
Speaking about the issue at the press conference after the Eyüpspor match, Güneş stated, "Galatasaray extended the deadline. It is not right to make an agreement and then withdraw; extending the deadline is not correct. I spoke with Eren; he is a player of this team."
NEGOTIATIONS HAVE RESUMED
In line with the request of head coach Okan Buruk, Galatasaray, which addressed its deficiencies except for the left-back position, met with the management and technical team after making significant moves. Following the technical team's emphasis on the left-back transfer, negotiations with Trabzonspor have resumed.
AGREEMENT REACHED: OFFICIAL STATEMENT EXPECTED
It has been revealed that Galatasaray reached an agreement with Trabzonspor for a transfer fee of 4 million euros and a bonus of 1.2 million euros during the meeting. An official statement from both parties is expected to be made shortly.
EREN GAVE UP HIS 2-MONTH DUES
On the other hand, national left-back Eren Elmalı, who agreed with Galatasaray, waived his receivables. It has been learned that Eren gave up his two-month dues from Trabzonspor.
EREN'S SEASON PERFORMANCE
Eren Elmalı has played 22 matches this season wearing the Trabzonspor jersey. While Eren did not score in these matches, he made 1 assist. The 24-year-old left-back, whose current market value is shown as 4 million euros, has a contract with the burgundy-blues until 2027. The national player was transferred to the Black Sea team from Kasımpaşa for 3.6 million euros in the summer of 2022.
