What happened in Turkish football today? 15/11/2023



Fatih Ozgokcen will not run as club CEO election.

Konyaspor CEO Fatih Ozgokcen has announced that he would not be running as club's CEO candidate during upcoming election which would be taking place on 20th November as during this season team didnt provide good performance on the field.

It needs to be stated that when looking at overall Fatih Ozkogcen reign as CEO has been actually pretty good which also included team being at title race during 2020-21 season as it did has been only side which did provide some nervous moments at historical Trabzonspor title winning but couldnt complete season at high note and losing points at the end. However, during this season Konyaspor are providing pretty dissapointing performance with losing lots of games and also it didnt have necessarily good transfer window this summer. Hence, it could be seen natural for Ozgokcen not considering to be running once again as CEO candidate and would be seeking for new name to be selected for this position.

Konyaspor are going through difficult period both on field and also administratively and hence new CEO candidates should be aware that some works would need to be done for this side to be improving with performance once again.

Al-Ittihad are interested to sign Vincent Aboubakar

One of the most discussed and eye-catching transfer rumours has been that Al-Ittihad are interested to transfer Besiktas player Vincent Aboubakar as Saudi clubs are considering to continue eye-catching transfers during mid-season transfer window.

It would be interesting to see how club and player would be responding for potential good offer from Al-Ittihad as player is being one of the key players at the team which plays most important role in the attacks and hence it would not be accepted to be sold easily but Al-Ittihad has capacity to provide conditions which would make player and club to reconsider his future at the team. In here, very important role would be played from Aboubakar response for transfer offer without doubt and how much he would like to stay at the team.

Hence, this looks to be pretty discussed matter during mid-season transfer window and we would be following all developments for sure.

Galatasaray interested to transfer Ridvan Yilmaz.

It is reported that Galatasaray are showing strong interest towards Rangers player Ridvan Yilmaz who despite of getting sometime good performance at the Scottish side generally didnt take leading role which been expected from him.

One of the areas which Galatasaray considers to strength during mid-season transfer window would be midfielding role and one of the main candidates would be Ridvan Yilmaz. Another reason for his interest, is that club does consider to end contract with its player Angelino who has been pretty far from fuifilling his potential and also doesnt get lots of playing time since start of the season with Yilmaz being good alternative both due of his quality and also being Turkish player and hence not beng affected from foreign player limit.

This transfer rumour is expected to be one of the most discussed during this mid-season transfer window and as always we would follow all developments.
