What happened in Turkish football today? 10/05/2023

 

Trabzonspor has terminated contract with Naci Unuvar.

Trabzonspor has terminated loan deal with Ajax player Naci Unuvar due of not providing very good performance and is not planned to be getting some playing time with club for rest of the season by Nemad Bjelica.

Even through Unuvar didnt get enough of playing time, when he did get some time he didnt provide necessarily satisfacting performance and didnt fulfill his potentiality of becoming future star in this season and hence it would be seen pretty understandably for this termination as staying at club where he would not be feeling welcome will also provide some issues to the player himself. With joining back Ajax he would likely be able to get some training sessions and also club could make plans of player future in more healthy condition. While this termination would help Trabzonspor to consider alternatives for him for next season.

Therefore, such decision from Trabzonspor to terminate contract with Naci Unuvar would be seen as good deal both sides.

Ali Koc could call early election if team doesnt win title.

It is reported that Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc would be considering to call an early CEO election if team would not be winning title and still didnt make decision if he would be running as CEO.

This blog recently and also occassionally during last 5 years of Ali Koc reign did criticise him and state that possibly looking for mistakes at coaches would be big mistake and possibly team is not run properly. With Fenerbahce chances for title are still being alive, it is being vague chances and number of supporters during games does call for Koc to resign and even through there has been some times of heated tension between fans and Jorge Jesus, big call for his resignation are not being heard much. Ali Koc could also once run as candidate if he would call early election to get trust-check from team administrators.

Ali Koc didnt manage to provide some good results in his reign and even through been close in some occassions for title, didnt make final touches which are needed especially in the end of season.

Galatasaray started negotiations with Mauro Icardi for extension

Galatasaray has started negotiations with Mauro Icardi and his agent regarding of extension of contract between both sides as both parties does consider to continue his stay this time with contract rather than loan deal.

As would be expected, with Icardi showing good performance in the team in duration of whole season did raise an interest from big clubs but player stating several times that he feels happy at Galatasaray does provide an important advantage but as it does it should be acting fast as both PSG could recieve some crucial transfer deals and also good offer could be given to Icardi which he could be unlucky to decline. Hence, starting negotiations with player directly right now is being an important task to keep him.

Turkey does loan some good names to its squad which does play an important role but does have issue at keeping them as signed players and hence Galatasaray would need to do lots to convince Icardi and especially PSG with signing him.
