Trabzonspor has recieved 2 million euro ban for not following FFP guidelines.

UEFA has announced its fines regarding of FFP regulations for previous 3 seasons with Trabzonspor being mostly affected among Turkish clubs as it recieved 2 million euro fine.

As it is known, Trabzonspor is going through difficult financial periods due of high financial spending of previous season and which administration aims to solve at short notice, with this taking into account it was quite natural to expect that club would be most highly affected. Among getting 2 million euro fine, with 1.7 million euro to be paid later, Trabzonspor has also signed agreement according to which club would go through fines and bans from UEFA competitions if it doesnt manage to solve its finances in next season which could lead to 1-year ban from competitions.

Trabzonspor hence needs to be careful with its finances in close period of time but good development is that club is aware of this.

Besiktas has ended season without breaking FFP regulations.

In other part of the coin, Besiktas didnt recieve any fine from UEFA as it did stayed connected to its financial conditions of the club and only issue is that UEFA would continue observation due of poor record in the past. 

Besiktas administration even through are being among club with high debt, has been focussed into its FFP conditions especially taking account that it did recieve good fine previously and this has provided lessons to the team. Such good financing of the team good provide also easiness in upcoming seasons for preparing into UEFA competitions including this summer even through so far it has been quiet at transfer front.

Among others affected has been Konyaspor which did recieve 100,000 euro fine and Basaksehirspor 400,000 euro fine. 

Antalyaspor signed Kaluzinski and Erdogan

Antalyaspor has ended its quitness at summer transfer front as it has signed Erdogan Yesilyurt for 2-years and Jakub Kaluzinski for 3+1 years, two players which would provide significant strength to the team.

Antalyaspor hence did break its transfer silence in what looks to be at good manner as it signed one of the key players of Sivasspor in recent years and also potential player Jakub Kaluzinski which has capacity to provide an important strenght to the team in upcoming season. This transfer does show for sure that team would be focussing to have better season.

Stating that team would need to make some more transfers if it wants to have good upcoming season and not repeat previous season poor performance.
