Rizespor signs Furkan Orak

 

Rizespor has announced that it has made transfer deal with Erokspor player Furkan Orak hence making its first signing during this summer transfer window as it has strengthened with young and potential player.

 

Furkan Orak it needs to be mentioned did provide some good performance at Erokspor in the 1^st league during previous season but it needs to be mentioned that it is unclear if he would be ready for Super League level and to some extend could be seen as good investment for future of the club but stating that he would have good time to prove himself to technical staff during pre-season training camp which would start in July. Still, it has been good transfer in sense of potential of the player for sure.

 

Our blog accounts would follow all latest developments as always at Rizespor as it needs some more transfers during this summer.

 

Galatasaray has made deal for 4-year extension with Yunus Akgun.

With always being player with big potential, Yunus Akgun has played an important at last season title and hence it would be seen normal for club to be aiming to keep him at squad and it does look like that side did make deal for extension of 4-years as possible sides also came to deal wth salary as player quite understandably did ask for raise of the salary.

 

Official announcement of the transfer is being expected to be made at short period of time and our accounts would announce as soon as it happens.

 

Everton interested to sign Fred

 

It is reported that Everton are strong interested to transfer Fred as Fenerbahce would also aim to sell him for good value as there is expected to be big revision of foreign players.

 

To some extend, Fenerbahce still would like to keep Fred so Everton would need to provide some good offer as he is being difficult player to replace without doubt and even through there were some decline with performance during previous season, his awareness of surroundings at the football field which could be seen from passes does make standout and show him as being important player. With taking this into account Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce administration will not sell him that easily.

 

It would be interesting to see how much effort would Everton provide for this transfer to happen hence.

 Trip to USA had some bonuses for Turkish National Team

Turkish National Team trip to USA for friendly games against USA and Mexico has been mixture of the performance especially taking account that it did win game where it didn’t show specifically good performance but lost one where it did.

 

Playing against two of the World Cup 2026 hosts and at the host country has been an important aspect for gaining experience for the tournament and possibly also setting mind and motivation for qualifying games. However, tiredness from previous season did affect into team performance both mentally and physically at the field. Even through Turkey didn’t necessarily show its best performance, it was clear that players and technical staff did come out to the game with an aim to win game as effort and motivation has been pleasant at the squad. It was also important for some youngsters and new comers to be called to the team as some of this could be competing at World Cup next season so its been important for them to get adapted to the side.

 

Turkey hence did have good period at USA for two friendlies game and did gain confidence, motivation and to some extend experience for upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

 

Memik Yilmaz has been reelected as Gaziantep CEO.

 

Gaziantep CEO Memik Yilmaz has been reelected as club’s CEO once again as he did play a leading role without doubt for club to be promoted once again to the Super League.

 

As being case for almost all clubs at the country, Gaziantep are also going through diffiicult economical condition but due of right spending of money and finding investments Memik has managed to keep and even more more competitive side which has ended at 2^nd place at 1^st league and get direct entry to Super League. With taking this into account it was quite expected for him to be reelected and with having experience at top league it would be expected for him to carry on playing leading role and push team forward with an aim to keep this side at the Super League for longer period of time as for long time it has been among sides which been associated with Super League.

 

This win hence has been expected and now Memik as been noted is to work on positive signs which there is at administrative part of the team and help team to move forward for next season.

 

Panatiniakos signs Basaksehirspor player Ahmed Touba

 

Panathiniakos has transferred Basaksehirspor player Ahmed Touba for 1 million euro as player has shown some good performance while being loaned to the side as Istanbul side has been considering to sell him.

 

Hence, it could be mentioned that transfer move has been good development for both sides as  been noted Touba did have some good spell at Greek side and got chance to get more playing time compare to his previous stay at Basaksehirspor. This move for sure would open some transfer window for Basaksehirspor and as it aims to have better season compare to previous season it would be starting for some new names an attacker player is expected to be main priority for Basaksehirspor without doubt.

 

Hence, Basaksehirspor would be looking for Touba replacement and our account would look for latest developments.

Besiktas didn’t deserve to end 3^rd when looking at team performance generally

 

Besiktas has ended season with impressive win against arleady relegated Bodrum with 4:0 scoreline but last minutes goals from Samsunspor has led side to end season at 4^th spot.

 

Even through it could be argued that Besiktas did do its best side to get 4^th spot, if Samsunspor loses points in their game which would mean 2 less qualifying rounds, in general Besiktas didn’t provide much performance which would make this spot for them deserved compare to Samsunspor. Positive note from this game has been for Mustafa Hekimoglu to find his first 2 goals at the league and provide some hope for Besiktas as being rising star at the team for future.

 

Besiktas did have dissapointing season without doubt and would need to make some crucial changes to make once again competitive side for title in next season.

 

Al–Duhail sings Krystof Piatek for 11 million euro.

 

Al-Duhail has signed Basaksehirspor player Krzystof Piatek as Istanbul side did lose one of its main players at the squad as he did complete as best goalscorer this season.

 

Stating that, transfer fee for the transfer has been 11 million euro which hence without doubt would provide an important budget for finding his replacement as long as Basaksehirspor would act more active as it would be competing at Conference League next season. Piatek without doubt did leave some good performance as he did take leading role at team would be expected to carry on such performance at Al-Duhail.

 

Basaksehirspor did lose hence one of its leading players and now it would need to focus to find strong replacement for him which might even raise team performance next season.

 

Samsunspor makes deal with Logi Tomlinsson

 

Samsunspor has announced that it has made 4+1 year deal with Stromsgodset player Logi Tomasson as team would be building strong team for next season.

 

Samsunspor would be aiming to build team which would be competitive both at Super League to repeat its success and also for Europa League without overpassing its budget and once of its signing has been Logi Tomlinsson. Tomlinsson is being player with some good potential and could be showing some good performance. Without doubt, Samsunspor would be focussing to sign as many as players prior to start of pre-season training sessions and making deal in such short notice with Tomlinsson would help to get adapted to team.

 

Samsunspor has started its summer with good potential transfers as it is expected to be one of most active sides at summer transfer window.

Besiktas has ended season with confident scoreline but still didn’t end season at 3^rd spot.

 

Besiktas has ended season with 4:0 scoreline at away game against relegated Bodrum but with Samsunspor winning its game against Kayserispor due of goals scored at 2^nd half extra time still has ended at 4^th place.

 

Besiktas did provide high focus into game with a focus to win game at the game where Mustafa Hekimoglu scoring 2 goals and hence becoming star of the game. Besiktas did what it aimed for during this game and could be praised that team has been much more focussed compare to previous week but Samsunspor has used its advantage at its own game effectively.

 

Besiktas hence ended with good scoreline and now it would be focussing to summer where it would make side much more competitive both at league and Europa League.

 

Fenerbahce has won despite of not showing strong game until 75th minute.

 

 Fenerbahce has ended season with a win against Konyaspor at the game which has been dominated by low number of supporters but ones who did come to stadium showed some negative reactions to team.

 

It needs to be mentioned that prior to 75th minute, Fenerbahce did show strong and confident performance at this formality game and this willingness of being big team and winning last game at home with also Konyaspor switching off did lead for them to end season with a win.

 

Fenerbahce does look to be having some active summer as future of both CEO Ali Koc and head coach Jose Mourinho is not being entirely clear and there might be some activity at the team at upcoming months.

 

 

 

Ali Koc has created chaos at the team and he is not aware of it

 

 Both Fenerbahce players Dusan Tadic and Edin Dzeko has left club prior to Konyaspor with modest celebration at club’s facilities kitchen and flew away earlier on the day.

 

Both players didn’t want to make big farewell event at the stadium due of high tension at the club with supporters believing that there would be some negativity given. Such decision to some extend has been mainly fault of Ali Koc who is failing to go through such period at healthy manner and creates tension between supporters and team players and club. Ali Koc statements regarding of election to be taken place on September and also self-focussed statement and criticism for early election only creates such gap.

 

Therefore, it does look like Ali Koc has created huge chaos and gap between supporters and he doesn’t want to take responsibility of this.
