After Kerem Aktürkoğlu's departure from the team, Yunus Akgün drew attention with his performance and turned down Galatasaray's new contract offer of 40 million TL. The national player has requested 65 million TL from the yellow-red team, citing the reason for this demand as the new transfer Roland Sallai's earnings of 2.5 million euros.
This season at Galatasaray, especially after the departure of Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Yunus Akgün has become one of the indispensable names in the starting eleven with his performance. He had turned down the contract renewal offer made to him by the yellow-reds. The fee requested by Yunus and his manager has been revealed.
HE HAS BECOME INDISPENSABLE
Due to Kerem Aktürkoğlu's transfer to Benfica during the summer transfer period, the 24-year-old player has had regular playing opportunities and has secured his place in the starting eleven with his rising performance. So far, Yunus has worn the yellow-red jersey in 11 matches, 7 of which were in the starting eleven, and he has managed to score 4 goals in these matches.
HE REJECTED 40 MILLION TL
The Galatasaray management, pleased with the national star, offered a new contract to Yunus Akgün, whose contract will expire in 2026. Cimbom offered Yunus, who earns 17 million TL annually, 40 million TL. However, the yellow-reds' offer of 40 million TL was not accepted.
HE WANTS 65 MILLION TL
Yunus Akgün's manager has requested an annual salary of 65 million TL from the yellow-red club. According to a report in Takvim; the reason Yunus and his manager are asking for 65 million TL is the new transfer Roland Sallai. The Hungarian winger earns 2.5 million euros annually from the yellow-red club. For this reason, Yunus and his manager are also asking for an annual salary of 65 million TL.
OKAN BURUK'S WORDS ABOUT YUNUS
Head coach Okan Buruk stated about Yunus Akgün, "There was an uproar when I brought Yunus into the game in the Super Cup match. Not everyone sees his training performance. Yunus is currently an important player for the national team. In the previous national match, I played 3-5-2 against Esenler Erokspor. I played him as a left wing-back. After that, I started Yunus in the starting eleven. He performed well in both defense and attack. He clearly showed me that he is good there. He is in very good physical and mental condition."
