Galatasaray is coming out as favourite to Super Cup despite of some downsides in pre-season.
Turkish football season is going to start tomorrow with Super Cup game between league title winners Galatasaray and Turkish Cup winners Akhisarspor at the game which as would be expected Galatasaray would be come out as strong favourite.
Among being its 1st title of new season and opportunity to start with a cup new season, Super Cup is also good opportunity for teams to see how much their prepared for league and in case with Galatasaray to Champions League. It needs to be stated that apart of signing Henri Onyekuru, Galatasaray as most clubs had experienced pretty quiet transfer season which hence could be seen with its starting squad tomorrow. Among other aspects with judging pre-season friendly game and also an issue with salary of Bafetembi Gomis which has been dominated during this summer, it is unclear how much Galatasaray is ready for Champions League and also to defend its league title. It would be coming out as favourite against Akhisarspor but it needs to be stated that side from Ege region did show some good performance with surprising results against "big 4" teams last season so it wont be an easy task for them at all.
Galatasaray has been among most successful sides at the Super Cup and it would be aiming to carry on this habit during tomorrow's game for sure and would aim to show great game.
Akhisarspor would show brave game against Galatasaray.
Even through Akhisarspor is aware that their opponents are much favourable, with realisation that their had won last season Turkish Cup and also its performance against top teams does push them into believe and aim for surprise.
As with case with most of the teams, Akhisarspor as team are being in similar strength as their opponents which hence would push them to provide strong performance against league title holders. Akhisarspor, the game which has described their performance against top teams last season, would be played with aware that their have nothing to lose and would show for certain proud football. As would be remembered, as Akhisarspor has won Turkish Cup their had beat their opponents at semi-final stage with showing greater football and has won cup in well-deserved manner. It would be aiming as stated to show similar results with Yevhen Seleznyov once again showing top football and becoming closest player to the goal as he would be seeking for chances to score important goals tomorrow for sure. What is important here for them is to show brave and self-belief football if their want to get surprising result against Galatasaray.
Akhisarspor would surely show brave football and aim to write an important history as Galatasaray as their did against them last season at Cup.
Arsenal offered 25 million euro for Domadoj Vida.
It became clear that Arsenal is considering to send 25 million euro offer towards Besiktas for Domadoj Vida as team aims to conclude transfer until deadline in England which would be on 9th August.
Following, great performance during World Cup 2018 interest towards Domadoj Vida has been very big from different clubs around world and among them without doubt has been England. Even through Besiktas did state openly that it is willing to keep Vida for next season, it would be open for high transfer offers due of economical clubs are, and such an offer is pretty difficult to refuse. Therefore, there is big interest in what reaction would Besiktas administration be given with such an offer for such an important player from Arsenal side. Arsenal and British media are pretty sure that is done deal right now, but Besiktas might mainly aim to keep Vida for next season or even ask to raise salary even more. The way Besiktas would act will become in upcoming days.
With taking account that British clubs are main contenders for Vida, the chances to sell him after 9th August, of course if team even wants to do that would become even slim and as day goes there is bigger chance for Vida to stay at Besiktas for next season.
