Akhisarspor has started season with beating Galatasaray and winning Super Cup after penalty kicks
Last season Turkish Cup winners has managed to win Super Cup by beating Galatasaray with beating opponents at the penalty kick outs at the game which it has provided very good performance against title holders with Akhisarspor goalkeeper save from Bafetembi Gomis has brought them title.
Akhisarspor among winning this Super Cup and starting season with a title it has managed to provide top level performance against top clubs which it has shown during last season and did show that beating Galatasaray at last season Turkish Cup semi-final wasnt an accident. It needs however to state that both teams didnt show top level performance which tends to be a case during Super Cup as it is seen as a start of the new season and right now Akhisarspor has become the team which has gained highest motivation among all of the Super League side and does provide a sign that it would be able to get some number of surprises during upcoming season. Meanwhile, Yevhen Seleznynov 5 minute goal and also among other chances did provide an image that he is most ready among Manu who has created some number of the chances during game.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray even through wasnt much weaker compare to Akhisarspor, it needs to be stated that side is not fully ready for upcoming season which was visible from thei pre-season friendly games. Galatasaray does look not to be entirely for upcoming season and would have some issues during upcoming 1st week game against Ankaragucu on starting day of the Super League. The view in fact of Super Cup games in Turkey showed that team wasnt completely for the season. Galatasaray didnt provide any dominant football and was pretty lucky that Eren Derdiyok has used his opportunity to find a chance which has scored and with rumours that side would be selling him until end of the summer transfer window has shown that he is capable of showing top level football with his team. The worry meanwhile of Bafetembi Gomis not be entirely ready for this season has become even clearer for season which would start this week.
Akhisarspor has managed to get surprising win against Galatasaray with winning at penalties and starting season with Turkish Cup. Right now team would be focussing to 1st week game against Besiktas as it would be coming out with confident scoreline.
Galatasaray has raised transfer offer for Emre Akbaba for 500,000 euro.
Galatasaray meanwhile carries on its transfer negotiations with Alanyaspor player Emre Akbaba as club has raised its transfer offer from 3,000,000 euro to 3,500,000 euro as player himself has stated to his team administration that he only considers to join Istanbul side.
Transfer negotiations with Galatasaray and Alanyaspor has been taking place since start of the summer transfer window as we are entering to the last month of window, Galatasaray is now considering to end negotiations. One of the positive aspects for Galatasaray, is that Akbaba declines all of the offers apart of Galatasaray stating he would either join them or stay at the team. It could be stated even in normal circumstances Galatasaray would be able to conclude transfer negotiations much earlier but due of FFP regulations and general economical issues which been discussed a lot during this summer team was not able to make conclusion. Still it could be stated that for Emre Akbaba options for upcoming season are either move to Galatasaray or stay at the side.
It needs to be stated meanwhile that Alanyaspor is currently aiming to raise transfer fee as high as possible as it would be using one of its main players at the squad without doubt.
Bursaspor are interested to transfer Samuel Etoo.
As soon as Samuel Etoo has left Konyaspor, there had come out rumours at the Turkish sports media that Bursaspor are showing some strong interest to purchase legendary player to its squad.
Even through this blog, rightfully, has stated that the player is getting older and gets further from his top performance which he has shown in previous seasons he still capable to provide some good performance at some moments and most crucially provide leadership role inside team especially with younger players. With taking this account it could be stated that team would be strongly consdering to transfer him as Bursaspor to some extend does lack a leader player especially with losing Batalla in the start of transfer window. With taking account that Samuel Etoo is currently free agent could make it slightly easier for Bursaspor to have transfer negotiations as it doesnt need to worry about transfer fee and with old age of Etoo he might be quite modest with salary even through he is star and might look right now with good salary offers so time would show if Bursaspor actually interest with Etoo and would able to transfer him if its case.
Samuel Etoo has been adapted to Turkish Super League and also country and hence he would be able to consider to stay at the team and end his career here.
