Mehmet Buyukeksi has been reelected for 4-years as TFF CEO.
TFF CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi has been reelected as federations CEO with getting total of 169 out of 191 votes as he has been only 1 candidate as from now on he would be running for 4 years with being able to prove himself for most of delegates in this 1-year period.
As remembered, Mehmet Buyukeksi did become TFF CEO last season as he did meet with lots of issues to be needed solved which included post-Covid period, finances and also foreign players limited with including also broadcasting rights. Even through it could be argued that there are still lots of issues to be needed to be solved, he did pretty good job during 1-year as among mentioned problems, he also came with devastating earthquake which led for Hatayspor and Gaziantep not to compete points and he needed to make decisions into what with those teams points, with making decisions to provide 3:0 losses following games. This did lead to some mixed reaction from different clubs with Besiktas showing full protest.
Mehmet Buyukeksi despite of those problems did show good character and important decision and this detirmened character and dialogue with clubs possibly led for most clubs to support him in this election.
TFF has updated foreign players limit with some exceptions to rule.
During today's general meeting of TFF which been dominated with CEO election, TFF has also made an important decision regarding of foreign players limit as it keep limit of 14 players but has also included one player to be counted as local from Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Therefore, this decision to provide green light for countries from Turkic world has been more or less to show brotherhood between nations and also provide opportunity for development of those players even through there are low number of players at Super League from this countries and none at big 4 clubs. There is also been allowed for members of green card not to be counted as foreign player which could led for Yusuf Demir not to count as foreign player and possibly recieve some playing time as Galatasaray did state that player didnt recieve much playing time due of being stucked into this rule.
This decision might provide some maneouvre for clubs at Super League but still it would not be able to sign freely star players as most of those players origins dont enter to this excusions.
Fenerbahce signs Eden Dziko for 2-years
Inter Milan player Edin Dzeko has arrived to Istanbul for one-on-one transfer negotiations with Fenerbahce as club are being close to make 2+1 year contract with star player.
The rumours regarding of transfer of Edin Dzeko has been coming out louder and louder at Turkish sports media and player essentially did alive to Istanbul where he would be going through medical checkup and sign player at short period. Even through Fenerbahce could be last stop for Edin Dzeko, he is still being at high level of performance as could be seen with Inter Milan performance in previous season, especially at Champions League. This transfer without doubt has been aimed to provide similar response to Mauro Icardi being at Galatasaray and could lead to strong level performance as long as he would give his best.
This has been first star signing for Fenerbahce and whole Turkish football, and we would follow if there would more during this summer at all Super League clubs.
