Fenerbahçe has officially announced the transfer of national player Kerem Aktürkoğlu from Benfica.
4-YEAR CONTRACT SIGNED The yellow-navy team announced that they have signed a 4-year contract with 26-year-old national player Kerem Aktürkoğlu. In a statement from the club, it was said, "We welcome Kerem Aktürkoğlu to our family; we wish our Fenerbahçe many victories and championships in yellow and navy blue."
FIRST STATEMENT AFTER THE SIGNING After the signing, Kerem Aktürkoğlu stated, "Do you know why I said, 'I am happy to come to Turkey's most honorable club'? Because I have given 100% of myself to every club I have been contracted with until the last moment; I never thought otherwise. It was the same when I was at Benfica. Before the Benfica-Fenerbahçe matches, my transfer did not conclude because Benfica did not agree to let me go, so I told Hakan Safi and our President, 'I will play.' Our President said to me, 'Of course, you will play. You will do what you need to do for the club you are contracted with.' Mr. Hakan Safi also told me, 'You will do your best. If you weren't that kind of person, we wouldn't want you this much.' It was unthinkable for me to do otherwise. However, I would be lying if I said I didn't think things might change after scoring a goal in the match and causing Benfica to advance. But both our fans and our management expressed in a noble way that I did what I needed to do. And our President called me the very next day and said, 'We want you and we will get you. You did what you needed to do.'
Continuing his words, the star player said, "These honorable behaviors are the reasons for my statement yesterday. Otherwise, I have no intention of making empty rhetoric or insulting other communities with forced comments from others. I want to speak with my performance on the field in my Fenerbahçe career. I am aware that there is an attempt to draw me into off-field polemics with superior effort. But as I said yesterday, my only goal is to give back on the field to the value this honorable community has shown me and to be one of those who contribute the most to the championship it deserves."
