''OUR GOAL IS THE 5TH CONSECUTIVE CHAMPIONSHIP''
Özbek, noting that they have opened the new season, said, "I wish success to all teams playing in our leagues. I wish for a new season that will pass without injuries and with the spirit of fair play. As Galatasaray, our goal is clear. To win our 27th league victory by becoming champions for the 5th consecutive time. For this, my colleagues on the board and I are working very intensively. Galatasaray is the best football-playing team in Turkey. Our aim this season is to form one of the best teams in Europe."
''WE WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY MOVES''
Dursun Özbek, stating that they will make the necessary transfers, said, "Let no one have any doubt. We will build a team worthy of Galatasaray's 121-year history. We will make the necessary moves. I was also president of this club between 2015-2018. Remember the teams we built in the past. Remember Gomis, Belhanda, Fernando, Feghouli, and Mariano. This team dominated the league for 2 consecutive years and became champion. In my second term starting in 2022, we transferred Icardi, Osimhen, Uğurcan Çakır, Sane, and Mertens. In the previous period, they were saying, 'Will he get Osimhen? Can he bring him?' We brought Osimhen. We brought players like Torreira, who are among world stars, to Galatasaray. There have always been sayings like 'Talking is easy, let's see you do it.' We were not influenced by these. We have always made transfers to the necessary places."
''A PERSON'S WORK IS THEIR MIRROR, NOT THEIR WORDS''
Özbek, explaining that they are trying to build Galatasaray's future, said, "We are doing everything we can to leave a much better Galatasaray than today to our children and grandchildren. Just as we became champions four times in a row before, the team that becomes champion for 5 consecutive years will again be Galatasaray. Our preparations for a more successful Galatasaray are complete. I want to conclude my speech with a proverb. A person's work is their mirror, not their words." made the statement.
