UEFA sends Cuneyt Cakir early from Euro2016.
It became clear today that UEFA has send back to Turkey, Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir from France where he was refereeing for Euro2016 games with his last game being yesterday's Spain and Italy game. This announcement has been seen as surprise but many people inside Turkey and probably around the world.
With Cuneyt Cakir being one of the most trusted referees at the UEFA, which could be seen from appointing him in most toughest last 16 at the Euro2016 between Spain and Italy it was surprise to send him so early and there was expectation that he would be refereeing at the semi-final stages. One of the theories why he was send so early was suggested as the fact that he will be refereeing football competitions at the Rio Olympics which would take place on August. He also did recieve lots of criticism by Spain for his refereeing at the game against Italy but it is unlikely to be reason as he did do great job from neutral perspective.
Turkish people should be proud of his performance at the Euro2016 and surely he did better job than footballers at the tournament. It is surely that he wasnt send earlier due of his performance at the tournament.
Valencia has made agreement to sign Luis Nani.
Valencia has announced today that it did make deal with Fenerbahce player Luis Nani for the transfer and is expected to make deal with club for 8.5 million euro due of release clause which was stated at the contract with the player.
Fenerbahce did announce as soon as previous season was over that it intends to sell Luis Nani, among Robin van Persie, this summer and it was clear due of age and performance wise that Nani would be easier transfer. It does needs to be clear that Luis Nani did had better performance at Euro2016 compare at Fenerbahce and also has good tournament for himself so it should not be suprise for such an interest given by Valencia in the beginning of transfer window. Fenerbahce would recieve extra 8.5 million euro from this transfer and use this cash for other transfers including with potential signing of PSG player Gregory van del Wiel.
It needs to be said that Luis Nani did have good moments at the Fenerbahce but he could not give consistency at the team which led him to leave the team and get a good transfer to La Liga side Valencia.

Turkish Football Federation has confirmed that Turkish Super League starting date would be 19-20-21st August weekend with 1st half of the season taking place for 16 weeks.
