It has been claimed that head coach Okan Buruk vetoed the potential transfer of Jhon Duran to Galatasaray. The experienced manager is reportedly not keen on the transfer due to the Colombian footballer's private life and performance.
A striking development has occurred regarding Jhon Duran, who is reportedly eager to transfer to Galatasaray. It has been claimed that the Colombian striker, allegedly taking steps through his agent to join the yellow-red club, is not being warmly received by head coach Okan Buruk.
GALATASARAY POSTS HAD DRAWN ATTENTION
It has been alleged that Jhon Duran, who transferred to Fenerbahçe with high expectations at the start of the season but was sent to Russia during the mid-season break, wants to return to Turkey. The Colombian player, who recently drew attention by liking Galatasaray's posts, has reportedly made some attempts through his agent to secure a transfer to the yellow-red club.
OKAN BURUK IS CAUTIOUS
However, according to incoming information, Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk is not currently positive about Jhon Duran's transfer. The experienced coach is said to be distant from the transfer due to the young player's irregular personal life and inconsistent performance.
FELL SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS IN RUSSIA
Jhon Duran, whose loan contract with Zenit will expire at the end of the season, has only played in 6 matches in the Russian Premier League so far. The Colombian footballer has scored 1 goal in these appearances, and his performance has reportedly fallen short of expectations.
