They extended the contract without the young footballer's knowledge.

It has been revealed that Altay, which is preparing to fight to escape the relegation zone in the second half of the TFF 2nd League White Group, has extended the contract of defensive midfielder Ceyhun Gülselam, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the first half and ended his season, for another year without any announcement.

1 YEAR EXTENDED

The experienced player, who signed a contract with the black-and-white club until June 30, 2025, at the beginning of the season, had his contract extended to 2026 on November 28 through an off-season contract renewal method despite the transfer ban.

37-year-old Ceyhun, who last played in the match against İnegölspor, which ended in a 3-2 victory in İzmir on November 30 while wearing the Altay jersey, completed the 90 minutes despite tearing his cruciate ligaments in the final moments of the match, playing injured to avoid leaving his team short-handed.

In the İzmir representative, the contract of 36-year-old left-back Özgür was also extended until 2026 in November using the same method, while the contract of 22-year-old center-back Kuban was extended until 2027 in December.
