Mustafa Cengiz will not be running as Galatasaray CEO as election been cancelled.

Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz has announced that he will not be running for CEO election which been cancelled from administrative board as it is expected that it would be taking place in June.

Due of uncertainty of situation in country regarding of Covid19 and possible high regulations which could be coming from government has been given as main reason for this decision. Even through there is arguments that this decision has been made in interests of Cengiz, it needs to be noted that in times which we living at this could be seen as good decision. There is seems to be optimistic belief that everything would get back more or less to normal after full lockdown which ends on 17th May but even through we also sharing to positive view it still unclea what would happen with case numbers still being higher number than would like to be even through it did fall more then half.In addition, due of ongoing criticism which current CEO Mustafa Cengiz recieves and also his health he has decided not to run as club CEO in upcoming election.

Administratively club is going through turbulent times as this CEO election is being moved several times due of Covid19 conditions.

Ricardo Sa Pinto will leave club in the end of the season.

Following Gaziantep CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi announcement that he will not be running for CEO eleciton in end of the month, club head coach Ricardo Sa Pinto would be living side in the end of the season.

Pinto states that Buyukeksi has been who has appointed him into position and he has set his plans with him and hence he would be felt incorrec to stay at the club which could also be connected to the factor that he did recieve lots of criticism for his agressive behaviour which leads him for high number of cards which he recieved during this season. Still, it is hard to state that he did poor performance with this side as it continued getting good result during his short period in the club continuing its strong performance.

This decison from Buyukeksi could lead for some others people to leave club which we would follow in our page.

Inter Milan considers to offer 20 million to Trabzonspor for Ugurcan Cakir.

Inter Milan is considering to offer 20 million euro+bonuses to Trabzonspor and currently countries best goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir showing hence strong interest towards player.

It has been known that Inter Milan were having strong interest with Cakir but with coming with such offer in addition shows it is willing to spend such good value to player which would provide strong offer to get player in whatever cost. Trabzonspor on their part know their upper hand with this transfer talks as it expects player quiet rightly to provide top level performance during Euro 2020 where his cost could be going even further then this and hence have upper hand at negotiations with high number of top clubs during whole summer.

It does look like Ugurcan Cakir would be among most discussed transfer focusses in Turkey this summer and we would follow it for sure.
