In the winter transfer period, Galatasaray, which added Ahmed Kutucu, Alvaro Morata, Mario Lemina, Carlos Cuesta, and Przemyslaw Frankowski to its squad, knocked on Trabzonspor's door for Eren Elmalı, after Şenol Güneş announced that he would stay with the team at the last hours of the transfer.
WHAT DID ŞENOL GÜNEŞ SAY?
Speaking about the issue at the press conference after the Eyüpspor match, Güneş stated, "Galatasaray extended the deadline. It is not right to make an agreement and then withdraw; extending the deadline is not correct. I spoke with Eren; he is a player of this team."
