What happened in Turkish football today? 31/07/2018


Trabzonspor transfers Zargo Toure for 3 years.

Trabzonspor has finalised transfer deal with Lorient player Zargo Toure as club has signed player for 3 years with pretty economical salary deal of 550,000 euro for 1st season and also last season while 2nd season player would recieve 650,000 euro.

Without doubt Trabzonspor has used its opportunity of release clause which was present at Toure contract which was as low as 350,000 euro which allowed team to become stronger for next season without spending too much cash. It could be stated that Zargo Toure is not level of player which could make this team as title contenders but with taking account all of the economical situations and FFP regulations and willingness of Toure to prove himself could lead for a team to make a very good transfer deal as player could be able to improve his performance as new season would be starting in 2 weeks time. Trabzonspor signing Toure for sure would be able to move forward and get closer to its Europa League spot aim in next season.

So far, Trabzonspor are having good transfer politics and are expected to carry on in similar manner in upcoming seasons for sure with some more transfers to be made.

Galatasaray signs its ex-academy players Birhan Vatansever for 4 years.

Galatasaray signs back its previous academy player Birhan Vatansever, from Bandirmaspor for 4 years as head coach Fatih Terim would be aiming to provide strong focus and support for youth players in upcoming season.

As it was stated beforehand, Galatasaray are among teams who has troubles at having high number of transfers due of FFP and economy issues and hence Fatih Terim would mainly focus to youth players. During last summer transfer window, Galatasaray has sold 21-year old Birhan Vatansever to Bandirmaspor, but Galatasaray has now rightly brought him back to his side for 4 years contract hoping that he would be able to provide similar performance which he managed to show during club's academy. This transfer for sure would be helping team to focus into its youth players and also build strong potential strong team for the future as Fatih Terim does have experience to move some younger players into  main squad and also to national team in previous reigns.

This without doubt would be second opportunity for Birhan Vatansever to prove himself to Galatasaray and with Fatih Terim as coach this could be high probability.

Antalyaspor didnt attend to training session for not recieving salaries.

Antalyaspor players are carrying on showing protest due of not recieving salaries for long time now and would not attend to training session which took place this evening as sign of protest.

Turkish econimical crises and its connection it has with Turkish football has been discussed actively at our blog heavily during this summer however it needs to be that among most affected teams at Super League has been Antalyaspor. Club didnt manage to pay salaries for long time now and quite rightly players are showing reactions towards this without attending to the training session. With league starting during next weekend it would be pretty worrying for administration and technical staff as lack of training sessions would surely have negative effect towards players for sure in league. The time would show how Antalyaspor aims to solve those issue but so far players doesnt seem to be willing to train as long as their salaries are not recieved.

Antalyaspor is does look like would need to find urgently some cash to solve this issue or things would turn even much worser in upcoming days.
