Galatasaray's head coach Okan Buruk made statements regarding current issues during a live broadcast. Announcing good news about the Osimhen transfer, Okan Buruk said, "Hopefully, the Osimhen deal will be finalized as soon as possible. We need to manage this clearly without making too many transfers, along with a goalkeeper transfer."
The reigning champion of the league, Galatasaray, which is continuing its preparations for the new season, had head coach Okan Buruk speak about current issues in a live broadcast. In statements made to Tivibu Sport, the successful coach said that the Osimhen transfer would be completed as soon as possible.
''WE WILL SPEND A SIGNIFICANT BUDGET''
Okan Buruk, who stated that a significant budget would be spent on the Osimhen transfer, said: "As you know, we finished last season with Sara in the number 10 position. We occasionally used Morata as a second striker. Sane can play in three positions, and we can play Yunus there. In the last friendly match, I played Sallai there, and he performed very well. We played Sallai as a right back, right winger, and left winger. He is also dynamic behind the striker. There are many alternatives. We need to plan for the season, and the budget is also important. We will be spending a significant budget with the Osimhen transfer. We are waiting for it."
GOALKEEPER TRANSFER
Okan Buruk stated that they would prioritize the goalkeeper transfer, saying, "Our first priority is the goalkeeper. Günay is very important, and we are very pleased. His performance last year was very good. It is important to bring in another goalkeeper and compete between the two, especially in a busy schedule. In defense, Arda Ünyay has pleased us. Metehan is a player we played last year, who has come up through the youth system. Arda is 18 years old, but he played very strongly in the friendly matches. He entered the season by building on his performance with the preseason training. In defense, we need a player who can play both as a right back and a center back. This kind of thinking is also possible. It depends on the course of the transfer..."
''IT WILL BE COMPLETED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE''
Sharing good news with the fans regarding the Osimhen transfer, the experienced coach said, "We have a process ahead of us. We will find the most suitable profiles. What we are doing now, unlike previous years, is that Sane was transferred early, and hopefully, the Osimhen transfer will be completed as soon as possible. Along with a goalkeeper transfer, we need to manage it without making too many transfers, clearly. Fewer players, but the right players, players who can contribute directly... We already have a very good squad, a very ready squad. We want to start the season quickly with these players without experiencing adaptation issues."
