Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı explained why the transfer of Cengiz Ünder, which drew reactions from black-and-white fans when it was brought up, did not take place. Adalı stated, "It was not an issue stemming from Cengiz, but rather events that originated from Fenerbahçe." The Beşiktaş president also said, "Let everyone learn; I neither buy nor sell players, nor do I give up based on social media reactions."
Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı was a guest on the program "I Just Spoke" broadcasted on Ekol TV. Adalı explained why the transfer of Cengiz Ünder, who was loaned from Fenerbahçe to MLS team Los Angeles FC during the winter transfer period, did not happen, following the reactions of the fans.
"THERE WERE INCIDENTS ARISING FROM FENERBAHÇE"
Serdal Adalı described the reasons for abandoning the Cengiz Ünder transfer: "We sat down with the first coach. Both scout teams we received information from had Cengiz Ünder and Rıdvan Yılmaz on their lists. The idea emerged that 'if we have a local player, we can be more flexible in other areas.' Everyone wrote and drew. In terms of the financial aspect... it was not an issue arising from Cengiz, but there were incidents arising from Fenerbahçe," he explained.
"I WON'T ABANDON BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS"
Adalı also mentioned that Cengiz told his manager, "I don't want to go to a place where I'm not wanted," and stated, "Let everyone learn; with the reaction of social media, I won't take a player, give a player, or abandon anything. Let social media handle the transfer then," he expressed.
