Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç, in a program he attended on TRT Spor, answered questions about the planning for the upcoming season and transfers.
''4-5 TOP TRANSFER''
Stating that they want to bring in 4 players to the starting 11 next year, Ali Koç said, "In our planning for this year, we discussed that we need to acquire 4 'top' players, at the level of Skriniar. Our coach never mentions players. He said, 'A winter transfer is not essential; if you are going to buy, get 1 center-back.' He describes the profile. We talked about needing a narrower squad next year and bringing in 4 players to the starting 11." he said.
''5-6 TRANSFERS COULD BE POSSIBLE''
Stating that there have been offers, Koç said, "There are offers for a few of our players, so the transfer of 4 top players could be 5-6. In Dortmund, the management handles transfers. In Bayern Munich, the football brain does it. We will try to do the same. Like a Consulting Board... I won't mention names without permission. It’s as if we are making transfers by playing PlayStation with Mr. Acun. We are discussing transfers with Mario Baranco, Jose Mourinho, and Okan, and that’s how we are doing it. Our arsenal and maneuvering space will be very wide in the summer." he stated.
''DZEKO AND TADIC''
Speaking about the two stars of the team, Dzeko and Tadic, whose contracts will expire at the end of the season, Ali Koç said, "Dzeko and Tadic's contracts are ending. I'm not saying we won't extend them. They brought leadership to our club. Balkan athletes are different. They instilled leadership in the team, both on and off the field. There were times when they were booed as well." he expressed.
