Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım announced that they have reached an agreement on all matters with 26-year-old defender Enea Mihaj, who has left Famalicao. Yüksel Yıldırım stated, "We have reached an agreement on all matters with Enea Mihaj. The player recently got married, so he had his wedding and honeymoon to attend to. We needed to wait for him a bit. We plan to have him undergo a medical check-up and sign the official contract within 10 days."
In the 2024-2025 season, Samsunspor finished 3rd in the Süper Lig, earning the right to play in the Play-Offs of European cups. They have reached an agreement with Enea Mihaj, a 1.86m tall defender who plays for Famalicao, a Liga Portugal team, and the Albanian National Team.
YÜKSEL YILDIRIM ANNOUNCED THE TRANSFER
Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım made special statements to Demirören News Agency (DHA) regarding the transfer process of Albanian National Team player Enea Mihaj.
Stating that they continue their transfer efforts without slowing down, Yüksel Yıldırım said, "We have reached an agreement with Enea Mihaj on all matters. The player recently got married, so there was a wedding and honeymoon process. Therefore, we had to wait a bit for him. Now we plan to have him undergo a medical check-up and sign the official contract within 10 days. Mihaj will be our second transfer of this summer period after Logi Tomasson. We believe he will make significant contributions to our team," he said.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
Mihaj played in 29 of the 34 matches in the Portuguese league this season and made 1 assist.
'MAKOUMBOU'S TRANSFER PROCESS IS CONTINUING NEGATIVELY'
Speaking about the transfer claim regarding Antoine Makoumbou, a midfielder who plays for Cagliari in Italy's Serie A, Yüksel Yıldırım said, "Antoine Makoumbou is a player we are interested in, but we cannot acquire him at the moment. The Greek team Paok is in the running for this player. Besides Paok, 1-2 more clubs are also interested. Therefore, the player's price has increased. We are currently in a waiting phase. We are looking at other number 6 players. If Makoumbou lowers his price to our range, we will consider it. Otherwise, we have no chance of acquiring him. His transfer fee has currently increased by 1 million Euros. His salary demand has also increased by 300,000 Euros. When other clubs get involved, transfer fees and salaries go up. For this reason, this transfer seems a bit negative. It will only happen if they come to us, but that is also very difficult," he stated.
'N'KOUDOU IS NOT ON OUR AGENDA'
Yıldırım stated that they have not made any attempts regarding N'koudou, a former Beşiktaş player whose name has been associated with Samsunspor, saying, "We have not made any transfer attempts regarding Kevin N'Koudou, whose name has been mentioned with our club in the media recently. We have neither contacted him nor do we have any plans in this regard. These news are completely unfounded. In line with the transfer strategy we have set as Samsunspor, we are in contact with players that meet our needs. However, N'Koudou is not on our agenda," he said.
