Fenerbahçe Vice President Acun Ilıcalı made statements about the new season and transfers to Haber Global. Ilıcalı stated that the transfer works are still ongoing and said, "Our fans need to understand this very well; our coach has a desired profile, and suitable players for that profile have been identified. We are bringing the number one player on our coach's list. There is also a plan for another position." Acun Ilıcalı's statements are as follows; "WE WILL CREATE THE TEAM OF OUR DREAMS""It is normal for the fans to have transfer demands, I understand that. I have also been curious about which transfers will come for years. We brought the most successful coach in the world. It would not be appropriate for us to bring a transfer that Jose Mourinho does not approve. We are working in harmony with our coach. The transfer has just begun, there are two months left. We are on the right track. I can say that we will create the team of our dreams." "MOURINHO REALLY LIKED TWO LOCAL PLAYERS"Jose Mourinho liked Topuk Yaylası and the players very much. He said there would be two surprises. He said that these two players came very well. He liked their performances, but I can't give their names. Both of these players are local. "ÇAĞLAR SÖYÜNCÜ STOOD STRONG"Çağlar Söyüncü's price has been around 30-40 million euros and recently these prices have been discussed for the player. He played on loan with us. It is not easy for Atletico Madrid to play Çağlar while trying to buy him. Negotiations started at 15 million euros. We talked every day and signed the contract. We are very happy, Mario Branco made a great effort. Çağlar had a great influence. First, Çağlar agreed with us. I was very touched, his conversation with our president was very nice. He said he wanted to continue his life at Fenerbahçe. These things affected me and our president. Çağlar stood strong and put pressure on Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid also showed understanding about the issue. Çağlar had 4-5 other suitors. It had a happy ending. "MOURINHO DID NOT WANT THAT STAR"I am trying to support our president. We are trying to share the responsibilities by taking them ourselves. Unity brings strength. Ahmet Ketenci has devoted himself to Fenerbahçe incredibly. Mario Baranco is very good, Jose Mourinho is here. I believe in this team, we are in a good position, we are a good team. We agreed with a world-famous star before the elections, we asked Jose Mourinho. If we had announced it, Turkey would have talked about this name. Jose Mourinho said, "If he comes, he will ruin the good player I have, and this will not be good for me. But if you buy him, it's the club's decision. It won't be a problem." This time the ball came to us, Ali Koç said, "I will not harm Fenerbahçe just to win the election." "MOURINHO'S NUMBER ONE STRIKER IS COMING"We call him a world star, but did Alex come from a big team? Did Pierre van Hooijdonk come from a big team? World star players should be like this. We are bringing the name that is written at the top of Jose Mourinho's striker transfer list. It is not over yet, but we are in the final stages. Jose Mourinho said no to incredible names for the striker position. He said about many players, "He can score goals, but he is not involved in the game." The striker he wants as number one is coming. He wants a fast and dribbling left winger. According to that, a name will come. We have to entrust ourselves to Jose Mourinho. We respect his decisions. The striker issue is very important for Jose Mourinho. After the first name on the list is taken, we may have another surprise. We can consider another name afterwards. BATSHUAYI AND DZEKO STATEMENTSIf Fenerbahçe wanted Michy Batshuayi, we would have extended his contract. He made a request at the end of the season, and we thought it was not appropriate to give these amounts for the interests of the club. If he had stayed, he would have been our third striker. A star striker will come, Edin Dzeko is there, and Batshuayi would have been the third. We didn't want to pay a lot of money. He also said that he would go to another club. His manager told Mario Branco that they would go. We said, "Good luck on your way." We are bringing a bigger player. Edin Dzeko wants to stay and we are very happy. We also want him to stay. Jose Mourinho is also happy. He is staying at this stage. However, if there is an income of 30 million euros from Saudi Arabia, then it is up to our president. "EVERYONE HAS GONE CRAZY FOR FERDİ"Ferdi Kadıoğlu is very valuable to our president and us. If Ferdi doesn't want to leave, we will never sell him. Bring 40 million euros, Ali Koç will never sell Ferdi! Even if an offer of over 30 million comes for Ferdi, it may be a record for Turkey. Despite that, if Ferdi wants to leave, then we will part ways. Look at the players our president has sold. The numbers are always astronomical. The president's priority is Fenerbahçe. There is a persistent team for Ferdi, they have gone crazy for him. "OUR PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT ABOUT ZAHA"Time has proven our president right about Wilfried Zaha. He had a lot of criticism about this, he insisted, and now when you look at this statement, it is clear that the two numbers do not match. We are doing everything officially. I have seen this because I am involved in every transfer negotiation at Fenerbahçe. I think our expectations from football should be like this. Everyone should stay within their limits in a normal and appropriate way, if there is a limit. I think it is necessary to use that limit correctly, according to it.
