Galatasaray has once again lost a young star candidate to its eternal rival. The transfer of youth player Efe Fettahoğlu to Fenerbahçe reminds us of the Yusuf Akçiçek transfer.
ANOTHER TALENT FROM GALATASARAY TO FENERBAHÇE
Galatasaray, which lost its youth player Yusuf Akçiçek to Fenerbahçe years ago, is experiencing a similar situation again. Efe Fettahoğlu, who played in the yellow-red club's youth team, transferred to Fenerbahçe's youth team under the influence of his brother Mustafa Fettahoğlu.
"NEW ARDA GÜLER" COMPARISON
According to a report by Sabah newspaper, Efe Fettahoğlu, born in 2009, started training with the first team during the national break. The 16-year-old player, who has received great admiration in Samandıra, is being compared to "the new Arda Güler." The young talent, who plays as a left-footed number 10, is said to resemble Arda with his game vision and technical capacity.
THE BACKGROUND OF THE TRANSFER
Efe Fettahoğlu's brother, Mustafa Fettahoğlu, was sent away from Galatasaray 4 years ago. The brother, who reacted to the club due to this decision, took his younger brother and registered him in Fenerbahçe's youth team. With this move, Galatasaray has once again lost a potential star candidate to its eternal rival.
THE EXAMPLE OF YUSUF AKÇİÇEK IS STILL IN MINDS
Yusuf Akçiçek, born in 2006, played in Galatasaray's youth team between 2016 and 2019 but was sent away due to being "overweight." Yusuf, who moved to Fenerbahçe's youth team, quickly developed and rose to the professional squad.
The young center-back, who transferred to the Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal for 22 million euros in 2025, made the 5th most expensive sale in the history of the Süper Lig.
Fenerbahçe earned 22 million euros in transfer fees from this transfer and a 10% share from the next sale, while Galatasaray also received income under the solidarity contribution fee.
YOUTH ACADEMY COMPETITION BETWEEN ETERNAL RIVALS
In recent years, the transfer of young players from the youth academy between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray has created a new area of competition between the two clubs.
The development shown by Efe Fettahoğlu indicates that this competition will grow even more with the "New Arda Güler" discussions in the upcoming period.
