Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan announced that they will not sell Uğurcan Çakır to Fenerbahçe under any circumstances. Doğan also stated that they have not received any offers for the national player from any Süper Lig club.
Trabzonspor Club President Ertuğrul Doğan made statements regarding Uğurcan Çakır, who has been rumored to transfer from Trabzonspor to Fenerbahçe.
Here are Ertuğrul Doğan's statements;
"WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF SELLING"
Doğan stated that they will not sell Uğurcan, saying, "The Uğurcan issue has taken an interesting turn. I am quite open and clear in my conversations. I do not understand what is unclear about the things I have explained. Uğurcan Çakır is our captain. He is one of our most valuable players. He is from Trabzon, a Trabzonspor fan. He is our brother. I have said some things emphatically many times before; I do not remember the number. No matter how much we say, people try to perceive it in the way they think. We have no intention of selling Uğurcan Çakır, our captain. It is clear and straightforward," he said.
"NO OFFER HAS COME BEFORE"
Continuing his remarks, the President said, "If an offer comes from abroad and makes him and Trabzonspor happy... An offer came to Uğurcan before, and he stated that the part given to Trabzonspor was low, and although the amount offered to him was good, he did not leave. At that time, I promised to help him. I have said this emphatically many times. As of now, I do not know how to explain it more clearly than this. It did not happen. Uğurcan mentioned that he has a dream of playing in Europe at the end of the season. He communicated that he had talks with some teams abroad. I also promised him that if there is an offer that makes Trabzonspor and him happy, we would help. It would be unfair to other teams. No team from Turkey has made an offer regarding Uğurcan," he said.
"I WON'T SELL FOR 20 MILLION, EVEN IF UĞURCAN WANTS TO GO"
Responding to the question, "Fenerbahçe made a 20 million Euro offer for Uğurcan to Trabzonspor. What will you do?" Doğan said, "I will not give him. I will not sell." To the question, "What will you do if Uğurcan wants to go to Fenerbahçe?" he replied, "He wouldn't want such a thing. Even if Uğurcan says that, I won't give him!"
"I WILL USE DISPROPORTIONATE FORCE"
Doğan stated, "We are trying to maintain our dignity. Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, and Beşiktaş are very important communities. We have no issues, business, or topics with anyone. We have not experienced such a polemic with anyone. We have always conducted these matters within the framework of love and respect. There is no request or offer regarding Uğurcan Çakır from these clubs. I do not know how to explain it; there is none. There is no such thing. Despite all this, if some lies continue on social media regarding these matters, then we may have to use disproportionate force. I emphasize this. No one should make Trabzonspor's captain a topic of gossip. Enough. If these lies continue, we will respond at some point, and it will be disproportionate force. I do not want to do that. I believe everyone has understood what they need to understand. There was no such situation regarding Uğurcan. Despite my repeated statements, it is not understood in a way that is clear; the purpose is evident, we have no business with anyone. No one’s player matters to us; we are not concerned at all. We are fighting our own battles. We have deficiencies, we need to make transfers. We have financial difficulties, we need to find money. No one should disturb us with trivial matters. I do not know how a clearer statement can be made. I hope this issue ends here," he expressed.
