Eyüpspor Vice President Fatih Kulaksız made statements about the future of Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, who are on the transfer agenda of the four big clubs and teams from Europe. Kulaksız also announced the transfer fees they have determined for both players.
"THERE IS INTEREST FROM THE FOUR BIG CLUBS"
Stating that the four big clubs are interested in Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, Kulaksız said in a statement to Ekol TV, "Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer are our very valuable players. These players are not on the sale list yet. If the right conditions arise regarding our players, we may consider selling them. The four big clubs are also interested in Ahmed and Berke. They have inquired, but we have not yet received any official offers."
"THERE HAVE BEEN INQUIRIES FROM EUROPE AS WELL"
Fatih Kulaksız mentioned that there are also interested parties from Europe for Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, stating, "There is a serious offer from abroad. There are those who show interest through agents from abroad and inquire about the transfer fee. We are evaluating all of these. We have no discomfort regarding these news. We are not in a hurry with these players. They have made a very good breakthrough. They have shown that they are target players for the national team. I can say this about Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer; whichever club from Turkey or Europe acquires them will have players with the potential to reach a much better point. Time will tell, and we will also follow up."
"THE PRICE IS 10 MILLION EUROS EACH"
Finally, addressing the transfer fees they are requesting for Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, Kulaksız concluded his remarks as follows;
"We have set a transfer fee of 10 million euros for both Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, but this will be determined by the process. Right now, we do not have a priority for sales. At the end of the season, considering Eyüpspor's interests, we may sell for a higher fee. We have communicated this fee to the teams inquiring from Europe."
"40% OF THE PROFIT GOES TO FENERBAHÇE"
Fatih Kulaksız, who previously provided information about the clause in Berke Özer's contract, who also played for Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray's eternal rival, stated, "Fenerbahçe has a 40% share of the profit from Berke's sale. The right of first refusal is only with Eyüpspor."
