What happened in Turkish football today? 06/12/2022

Enner Valencia and Ezgjan Alioski recovery process has began.

Fenerbahce has announced that recovery process from its players Enner Valencia will take place for 2-3 weeks with Ezgjan Alioski recovery might be taken for 2 weeks.

Enner Valencia who has shown an impressive performance at World Cup 2022 despite his site has been relegated at group stage, had also got injuries back-to-back and hence he had ended tournament with an injury with which he would be going through recovery which is expected to be taken place for 2-weeks and would be able to resume training when leagues will be resumed. Meanwhile, Ezgjan Alioski has become injured during training sessions and would also take 2 weeks to be recovered. Needless, to state club is currently focussed to have recovery process in fast manner but also make sure players would be recovered fully.

Negative part of this development has been without doubt that both players will not be able to train into crucial training sessions at Antalya and hence could not be entirely ready when leagues will be resumed.

Atiba Hutchinson and Georges Kevin-Nkoudou will join training session on 8th December

It is expected for both Atiba Hutchinson and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou to be joining Besiktas following World Cup 2022 to be joining side on 8th December as both players did show pretty good performance.

Without doubt, there were some sides at the World Cup which did show good performance and overpass its expectation but didnt go through group stage with Canada being one of the team. It would need to state that both Hutchinson and Nkoudou has shown some good performance in their clubs and did have some good performance in this period. It needs to be mentioned that both players did use its break prior to restart of the season in short manner would be joining on 8th December.

Since, both players did show some good performance in they national duty despite of last spot, they would join training camp at good morale and confidence.

Galatasaray has offered 5 million euro for Moussa Dembele

Galatasaray has started transfer negotiations with Olympique Lyon player Moussa Dembele with club offering 5 million euro for player for mid-season transfer window.

Galatasaray main priority at least for now during mid-season transfer window has been Moussa Dembele and as club seems to be convincing player, it has started transfer negotiations with his club and has offered 5 million euro at beginning. It would be interesting to see what would be response from Lyon as it could be finding such offer too low even if it doesnt have much plans for Dembele on its team for future. Hence, it would be interesting to see if there would be deal made and how negotiations would carry on in future.

As always, we would see how transfer negotiations would continue between clubs in upcoming period.
