Kayserispor CEO Erol Bedir has been reelected as clubs CEO.

Kayserispor CEO Erol Bedir has won its CEO election as he was running for position as single candidate but this result would not be much surprise if he had even contestant.

As was stated at our previous blog, Erol Bedir has provided great performance as CEO of club in recent years and despite of all difficulties has managed to push team forward and show some positive football which was especially seen during this season in high amount of time during this season. It is obvious that team would not be able to be team to fight for league title at least for several years, but Bedir has managed team to improve with his performance and always move team forward and making sure team becomes regular at the top league. It would be expected that team would be able to move forward in similar manner during next season also.

Erol Bedir will carry on providing strong service to the team and would be able to find ways how to make this high aims into reality with limited possibilities he has.

Fenerbahce has transferred Max Kruse for 3 years.

Fenerbahce after long negotiations with Werder Bremen player Max Kruse has managed to make transfer deal with him for 3 years as Kruse has stated that he aims to become future legend of the team.

Fenerbahce has carried on strong transfer negotiations with Max Kruse and are likely to make very good transfer deal between sides as Kruse is for now showing some positive attitute. One of the issues which could be with him however is for being a regular poker team which could be seen occassionally as distractor for himself but when he does provide right and strong focus to football field he is capable to show level of football which is expected by him without doubt. His addition to the team, would help team to become more creative at attacking game and also creating chances

Max Kruse hence is very good transfer for a team and might solve an attacking issues for Kruse without doubt.

Galatasaray has signed Ryan Babel for 3+1 years.

Galatasaray has transferred Ryan Babel which has been most discussed transfer during yesterday's transfers of champions of Turkey, as ex-Besiktas star would be aiming to give his best performance at new club.

It is known that Galatasaray has shown strong intention to sign Ryan Babel and does have high hopes and aims at a team during upcoming 3+1 years. It needs to be noted that Babel did leave not in a good way from Besiktas and has recieved some criticisms from Turkish media so this could be an opportunity for him to forgive and prove himself to media and also to Dutch public who believes that he has lost his level of performance in recent years due of recurring age. This could be a good transfer for Istanbul giant as it could improve level of performance both at league and Champions League.

Ryan Babel addition to Galatasaray should provide some good performance from Babel as he did show some good performances in recent period and surely team would hope he will carry on doing so.

But it does look like Sahin does look at this game in positive manner as he has accepted such transfer offer despite of rich footballing career in Turkish levels. It is expected that he would play for some years and end his career there soon.

Taha Tunc is also reported to provide great performance at the Pendikspor and has gained trust from a team without doubt as he has gained 3-year contract. With looking how new youngsters has performed at the team last season, there is no doubt why those Taha Tunc would also show top performance.

Taking account that Moroziuk feels comfortable at Rizespor it should not be seen as bad option for him and would be win-win situation to some extend for next season.

Vincent Aboubakar as it is known has shown great performance at the Besiktas 2 years ago and also at Porto which has gained lots of want to get player. It is expected that team would get into deal and Aboubakar would be great addition to the side both at Champions League and Super League as it would also solve an attacking issue which it tends to have last season despite of league title. Time would show if Aboubakar would join team but as been mentioned it would be great addition.

Basaksehirspor reported to make 3-year contract with Fredrik Gulbrandson.

Basaksehirspor has made transfer deal with Red Bull Salzburg ex-player Fredrik Gulbrandsson for 3 years as it aims to make its side once again competitive as it runs risk at losing key players prior to Champions League qualifiers.

With Abdullah Avci leaving team as head coach and also number of key players considering to leave team during this summer transfer window, Basaksehirspor does have some difficult aim to keep a team which would be able to provide competitive football during next season. To do so, it needs to work on transfers in pretty active manner and it is reported that first main transfer for them look to be Fredrik Gulbrandsson who has provided pretty good performance during last season at Red Bull Salzburg and can  help team to provide top level team performance with his team for next season. It needs to be reminded that official announcement has not been yet made by team but it is reported that offer is very close to be made.

If this transfer rumour does represent truth then we would be able to see 1st signing this summer as player would be able to push team forward next season.

Galatasaray are very close to make deal with Yusuf Erdogan.

Galatasaray are reported to make transfer deal with Bursaspor player Yusuf Erdogan as a player has provided some big promises some time ago but has lost its performance level in next season.

Despite of that, Galatasaray does look to believe that Yusuf Erdogan can reach to level which he has shown in previous seasons at Trabzonspor and also at Bursaspor since it has offered player 2+1 year contract, as it is posted also by player a picture of himself with Galatasaray shirt. Yusuf Erdogan did have degrease of performance but he does have quality and if he would be aiming once again to reach that level and focus into football at Galatasaray he could be big addition for Galatasaray which as it is known does have some big aims for next season for sure. It needs also to be stated that Fatih Terim is kind of coach which is capable to get maximum performance from any of his players for sure.

Key issue here for Yusuf Erdogan to be focussing once again to performing high level football and if he manages to get that level he would be able to get back into regular for Galatasaray if he joins them.

Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim insists to transfer Vincent Aboubakar.

It is been actively reported at Turkish sports media that Galatasaray head coach Fatih Terim are showing also strong interest to transfer Porto player Vincent Aboubakar who has shown good performance both at Besiktas and Porto.

It needs to be noted however that this transfer could be difficult one and to some extend be outside of transfer politics of general transfer trend this season, as it is after player which still has 2-year contract at Porto and their dont consider to sell him. Stating that good option could be to loan player but with Aboubakar showing some good performance in last 2 seasons, it is unlikely that Porto would consider that also. Only reason why Galatasaray would be carrying on showing interest towards player is the factor that Fatih Terim wants him a lot to see at his club and this factor leads team to give their all in negotiations in upcoming days.

With taking account economical issues at team, this transfer would be seen as big success for Galatasaray if it manages to transfer him for next season.

It has started its transfer window more or less with a signing of crucial player Adis Jahovic who as player would be able to strengthen forward performance of the team for next season for sure. It needs to be noted also that club CEO Adil Gevrek has stated that team would carry on its transfers as it would now focus towards midfielder and defenders during summer transfer window right now.

Thiam Mame Baba did provide some good performance during Saudi Arabic league and could be hence main reason why it has gathered some interest towards itself during this transfer window.

Veli Cetin as been mentioned has been one of the key players at Menemen Belediyespor and only being 21-year old, it could be seen as among one of the potential players for the future in the country and Goztepe could help him to become one. Only worry which could be related to this transfer is that Veli Cetin is not used to be playing at top league and could have some issue at getting adapted so therefore club needs to be patient with him and in fact signing him so early and hence for him able to join pre-season training camp would help to get adapted to team prior to start of the league.

Veli Cetin does have potential but as been mentioned some patience would need to be given towards him in start of the season.

Besiktas has made principal agreement with Tyler Boyd.

Besiktas are reported to make principal agreement with Guimaraes player Tyler Boyd, who has been loaned to Ankaragucu during 2nd half of last season and has provided great performance for team and raised some interests from high amount of clubs.

It is reported that Besiktas did make all deal with negotiations with Tyler Boyd and player is looking forward at joining team since he has shown great performance and didnt have much issue at adapting to the Super League at such short notice. With such performance level and also providing positive football performance surely makes him suitable to Besiktas which would aim likely to carry on attacking football style with Abdullah Avci. However, an issue here is to make transfer deal with Guimaraes as it is unclear how Portuguese side would act for such offer especially taking account that Boyd has shown great performance and improvement at Ankaragucu and would show some reluctance to sell player this summer.

As always our blog would carry on following this storyline as it is expected that Besiktas would try their best to sign player during this summer transfer period.
