Eyüpspor Vice President Fatih Kulaksız made statements regarding Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer, who are being pursued by Galatasaray. Kulaksız said, "Galatasaray has inquired about the two players. Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, and Trabzonspor are also interested." The Eyüpspor vice president also added that 40% of the profit from a potential sale of Berke, who previously guarded Fenerbahçe's goal, would go to the yellow-navy team.
After Galatasaray started efforts to add Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer from Eyüpspor to their squad, the club's vice president Fatih Kulaksız made striking statements regarding the matter.
"GALATASARAY OBTAINED INFORMATION"
Kulaksız stated, "Ahmed Kutucu and Berke Özer have attracted interest from big clubs. There are also clubs from abroad that want them. Our two players are not on the transfer list, but we could consider selling them if the right conditions arise. Galatasaray has obtained information about the two players. Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, and Trabzonspor are also interested," he said.
"40% OF THE PROFIT GOES TO FENERBAHÇE"
Fatih Kulaksız also provided information about a clause in Berke Özer's contract, stating, "Fenerbahçe has a 40% share of the profit from Berke's sale. The right of first refusal is only with Eyüpspor," he remarked.
BERKE'S FENERBAHÇE NUMBERS
Berke Özer, who started his football career in the Altınordu youth system, transferred to Fenerbahçe in 2018-2019. Berke, one of the first transfers during Ali Koç's presidency, was transferred for 2.5 million euros. The successful goalkeeper, who played 20 matches for the yellow-navy team, did not concede goals in 6 matches but could not prevent 20 goals in total. Later, he was loaned to Westerlo and then moved to Portimonense for free. The 24-year-old goalkeeper then signed with Eyüpspor. Berke Özer spent the second half of the 2022-2023 season on loan at Ümraniyespor.
BERKE AND AHMED'S SEASON PERFORMANCES
24-year-old Berke Özer's contract with Eyüpspor ends at the end of the season. The national goalkeeper has conceded 16 goals in the 17 matches he has played this season and has kept his goal clean 7 times. Ahmed Kutucu, who has a contract until 2027, has played in 17 matches this season, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists.
