TRANSFER OF İLKAY GÜNDOĞAN AND HAKAN ÇALHANOĞLU



"Do you think there is a clear need for a midfielder? The names of Hakan Çalhanoğlu and İlkay Gündoğan have come up. Many names are being mentioned in the foreign press regarding Galatasaray. Is there a midfielder transfer among your instructions?" In response to this question, Okan Buruk stated, "This is also the wish of our president, and our thought is actually to go position by position. We quickly finalized Leroy Sane. Osimhen was very important, and Osimhen's transfer is almost concluding. After that is finalized, especially the goalkeeper transfer will be important for us. We need to make decisions regarding the ongoing process for other positions. Who will leave, who will stay, who will depart... The most important thing here is, of course, you need to have a budget." he commented.



Continuing his remarks, the successful coach said, "We are using a very significant budget for Osimhen, and after that, we need to make decisions according to the remaining budget. You can ask for a lot of things here, you can request players for every position, but our budget is also in a very important situation. We need to use this correctly."
