Roda signs Tiago Cukur

Dutch 2nd division side Roda has signed Fenerbahce player Tiago Cukur as player would be expected not to get enough time in upcoming season as was case in previous season and such option could be best option for him.

Even through he does reduce his level in club status, it does need to be mentioned that for Tiago Cukur joining Roda would been best option where he would be able to get some playing time and possibly even restart his footballing career and hence he would like to see this new beginning while for Fenerbahce this would bring more flexibility both on squad and also at transfer front as team is still working on transfer window with only signing Levent Mercan. 

Hence for Tiago Cukur joining Roda would be good development for all parties without doubt.

Sanliurfaspor makes deal with Konyaspor player Stefan Shankovski.

Sanliurfaspor has made transfer deal with Konyaspor player Stefan Ashkovski who didnt recieve enough of playing time in his club without fulfilling his capacity.

With joining 1st league team which tends to be at mediocre level to some extend does show how Ashkovski wasnt able to fulfill his expectation as he hardly recieved playing time at his club and didnt provide strong and confident performance at training session. Hence, for Stefan Ashkovski leaving club to such level side to all respect towards Sanliurfa should not be seen as big surprise.

Now, this transfer would also open opportunity to look for alternative names as it is being quiet so far at transfer front.

Juventus are close to extend contract with Kenan Yildiz until 2029 

It is reported that Juventus has made deal with its player Kenan Yildiz until 2029 with raise of salary as he is seen as one of the leading players at team with sign of development.

Without doubt, Kenan Yildiz is being player with full of potential and Juventus does see that as it is close to make extension deal with player until 2029. Even through he didnt show very good performance during Euro 2024, he did show his skills at Juventus and also during other national team squad and hence there would have been strong interest to player and hence Juventus has acted fastly and effectively.

Kenan Yildiz could turn to leading player at upcoming season and Juventus does provide opportunities to achieve it.
