Sevilla has transferred Fernando for 4.5 million euro for  2 years.

Sevilla has made transfer fee deal of 4.5 million euro with Galatasaray player Fernando as player who has provided some good defensive performance right now would not be able to be at squad for next season.

Even through financially it could provide some movement for upcoming transfers including for defence, it is important for Galatasaray to use that cash in wise manner and find good alternative. Taking account that Galatasaray wasnt able to use Fernando into making deal with Sevilla regarding of Ever Banega, there could be signs that Galatasaray did make mistake at selling Fernando but once again time would show how this would turn around for  a team, but it is clear that it does need to find good defensive player right now as it needs player who would provide support to its other defender Luyindama without doubt. Stating that it would be expected that Galatasaray will have plan as it sold Fernando to Sevilla.

In other hand, of course this has been good move for Fernando as he would be able to play at strong squad at the high-level league in the world.

Gazisehir Gaziantep has transferred Mujdat Celik for 2 years.

Staying with players leaving Galatasaray, Gazisehir Gaziantep has transferred Mujdat Celik who wasnt able to show expected performance of himself at Galatasaray during last season.

It needs to be noted that Mujdat Celik is good player who is at good level for mediocre Super League teams, but as it came clear that at Galatasaray, he does have trouble at providing level of performance and also cope with pressure at top teams. Hence, this transfer also being good news for Galatasaray economically, it needs to be also admitted that in sense of footballer and as with developing as player this has been also been good move for Celik without doubt. Being felt at less stressful side he would be able to provide better performance at much calmer condition with out doubt during next season with newcomers. This transfer also being good news for Gazisehir Gaziantep as it got high level experience player at its side.

Therefore, it does look like all of the sides would be satisfied with such transfer to be made and would help all sides to develop for next season especially Gazisehir Gaziantep and Mujdat Celik.

Kayserispor has transferred Miguel Lopes for 2 years.

Kayserispor has transferred Akhisarspor player Miguel Lopes for two years as side has got another experienced Super League player which would be able to provide some high level performance.

As been noted beforehand, Akhisarspor does have some good players from its past season and despite of getting last place during last season, it is quite normal for Super League sides to transfer players for them. Without doubt, Miguel Lopes is among them as he has shown some great performance at his previous club pushing side forward with his strong performance at midfield. It would be able to help for Kayserispor to likely provide much stronger and attacking game in upcoming season and this has been great transfer for side.

Another good transfer for Kayserispor and also for player as he would be able to carry on his career at top league in Turkey.

Kayserispor has transferred Aymen Abdennour from Valencia.

Kayserispor has transferred Valencia player Aymen Abdennour which has become without doubt one of the most eye-catching transfers of today, as Abdennour is known to provide high level performance as player and does have good experience as player.

One of the biggest disadvantages however of Abdennour is being not having much playing time in recent period and hence he would be joining Kayserispor without much playing habit which could be seen as risky transfer to team. Abdennour therefore is player at the decline but if he would be able to turn around his skills which he has into high level performance, he would be able to show some impressive and high level performance for Kayserispor next season. As always time would show how successful would this transfer be for Kayserispor in next season.

Still, it could be seen as good transfer for a team and can provide much needed motivation into performance level for a team if he able to show performance which is expected from him.

Genclerbirligi has terminated contract with Ahmet Ilhan Ozerk.

Genclerbirligi has terminated contract with its player Ahmet Ilhan Ozerk as team doesnt see player to be highly ready for Super League level performance and has opened space for newer transfers.

Ahmet Ilhan Ozerk as player does have some good and impressive career but he did show some decline of performance with Genclerbirligi last season and quite naturally led for a team not to carry on with him for next season. It is also unlikely that we would be able to see Ozerk at Super League side at next season, very likely for him to move towards 1st league once again. After this termination Genclerbirligi would be seeking for sure at how to make their squad stronger for next season.

As been noted, Ozerk is having decline at his performance and side didnt see much future with him for next season and naturally has ended contract with player.

Fernando has left from Istanbul as he prepares to move to Sevilla.

Galatasaray player Fernando has left Istanbul as he has travelled to his home city Lisbon, Portugal as he prepares to be officially transferred to Sevilla.

Following departure of Fernando, Galatasaray has announced that it is having transfer negotiations with Sevilla regarding him and hence giving sign that transfer deal would be made at short notice. It was known that Galatasaray has aimed to use Fernando as tool to get Ever Banega from Sevilla, but afterwards it has turned into seperate transfer negotiations with sides close to make deal. Fernando has provided without doubt some great performance assisting a lot in defensive play to the team, but due of high cost and also FFP regulations Galatasaray did consider to sell Fernando if it recieves transfer offer, which it did from Sevilla. When this transfer would be made Galatasaray could also aim for other transfers this summer.

It is important however for Galatasaray to find good replacement for Fernando as player has played very important role for a team at the back.

Nihat Ozdemir has provided more info about new licensing system.

TFF CEO Nihat Ozdemir has made joint statement with Club's Union CEO Fikret Orman providing some brief but very important information about renewal system of licencing teams, which is following an idea of UEFA FFP regulations.

It became clear from statement that TFF aims to provide tough fines and also reduction of points to the teams which doesnt follow limit which is expected to be introduced after 6 months, with Nihat Ozdemir stating that the control would be done at several times. Even through Ozdemir acknowledges that clubs need to make some transfers, this regulation would be done on their own good as it would help teams to control its own finances and also reduce chances of recieving more serious fines and bans from UEFA. This regulation for sure would provide an important help to the clubs as it would help them to control its own finances in much more careful manner for sure. Therefore, in long turn this should provide much help to clubs.

This decision has been also seen welcoming both from Turkish clubs and UEFA so far and would provide lots of help when it would go into effect after 6 months.

Fenerbahce has transferred Yasir Subasi for 2+1 years.

Fenerbahce has transferred Umraniyespor player Yasir Subasi being at the team before for 2+1 years and has loaned player immediately to Kayserispor which has been pretty effective tactic by team.

Talks about Yasir Subasi returning at the team has been done for several times until now but it wasnt really expected that player would be send once again, this time towards Kayserispor. Stating that this transfer to Kayserispor would be a good one as it would allow a young player to develop and also possibly to recieve much more playing time if he would have stayed at Fenerbahce. Yasir Subasi has provided some good performance at Umraniyespor last season and become one of the key players for historical performance of the team at Turkish Cup where it has beaten both Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor and would be able to provide good performance at Super League despite of limited experience at this league.

Kayserispor has loaned an important player and with coach like Hikmet Karaman player would like to develop even more.

Basaksehirspor has loaned Okechekwu Azambuike

Basaksehirspor has loaned for 1 year Pyramids player Okechekwu Azambuike who has also been loaned to Ankaragucu during last season and has shown pretty strong and memorable performance at his previous club.

It needs to be noted that without doubt Basaksehirspor would be aiming for sure to at least carry on high level performance of the team which has shown last week and hence it would need to make some very effective for next season, and loaning player like Azambuike with an option for transfer would help team for sure to achieve high aims which it would have set to itself for next season for sure. With player also being familiar with Super League would not provide much issues at adapting to league.

Basaksehirspor so far has been more or less active at transfer front but this surely is best transfer it has made this season which could have direct impact on team next season.

Fenerbahce transfers Altay Bayindir.

Fenerbahce has signed Ankaragucu player Altay Bayindir for 4 years and has carried on its tradition of having Turkish goalkeepers at the squad and has got 21-year old goalkeeper who have shown great performance last season.

Altay Bayindir it needs to be noted without doubt is being one of the most potential young goalkeepers at the Turkey and with Fenerbahce used to have best goalkeeper at the squad during 1990-2000's, it is still close to get that level of goalkeeper. With Volkan Demirel expected to end his career at short notice, with such transfer this possibility even being higher right now, Altay Bayindir and Harun Tekin would be expected to take his place and both are have enough quality to take such important role. For sure, Altay Bayindir addition to the team has been an effective one and would provide some security into goal in upcoming season.

There is quite naturally high expectation towards Altay Bayindir and he would be aiming to fulfill them as new season starts.

Gazisehir Gaziantep signs Pawel Olkowski for 2-years. 

Gazisehir Gaziantep has transferred Bolton Wanderers player Pawel Olkowski, who also has been only 2nd transfer to the team during summer transfer window as newcomers are making their transfers into patient and careful manner.

It needs to be noted that by signing player who even limited has some experience at Premier League would be expected to provide positive push into the team and also player converting his experience with team which is enjoying its 1st Super League in its season. Gazisehir Gaziantep quite naturally first aim for next season would be to stay at the league and hence are likely to make their transfer according to that. Not much known about Pawel Olkowski as player but being also young player, there is some expectations given to him at  Gazisehir Gaziantep and also at Poland and would be expected as been mentioned to provide some high level performance.

Time would show how successful is this transfer but Olkowski as mentioned does have some potentiality as player and to side. 

Galatasaray has extended contract with Fatih Terim for 3+2 years.

Even through it was announced that contract has been for 5 years, it is actually been like that with an option of +3. Even through it is expected that unless some external issues would happen with club and head coach, it would be extended and this option has been mainly put for discussion about change of salary. This contract has shown once again strong trust between Fatih Terim and current Galatasaray administration.

Surely, during this 5 years Fatih Terim would be aiming to show some top level performance both in Super League and also at Europe.

Trabzonspor has terminated contract with its player Vahid Amiri.

Trabzonspor has terminated contract with its player Vahid Amiri who has been at team only one season and even through did provide lots of expectation when being purchased, didnt provide much of it as season has been progressed.

It could be stated that Amiri did recieve high amount of chances during start of the season, and did provide occassionally some good performance but as season has progressed and with good performance of younger players, he has been pushed towards substitution and didnt recieve much gaming time. Hence, decision by both parties to terminate contract would be good development for both sides as club will not spend money into salary to play which it didnt use and also player himself will not recieve gaming time and hence will not develop into player. From what it is known, termination deal has also been made at friendly and mutual deal which is also good news for both parties for sure.

With Trabzonspor focussing into younger players and also openning space for foreign players has also provided more reflective action during rest of transfer window.

Sivasspor has signed 2-year contract with Caner Osmanpasa.

Sivasspor has signed 2-year contract with Akhisarspor player Caner Osmanpasa which means that player has returned to top league after being relegated from his club.

It needs to be stated that Akhisarspor did in fact a good squad last season and hence it was surprising that it has been relegated from last place also. With such good squad hence it should not be surprising that Super League clubs are showing strong interest with those players as Sivasspor has signed player, who has been among eye-catching at the squad for 2-years. With being familiar also with league and having some quality aspects it would be expected for sure that he would provide lots of help for next season to Sivasspor and help to reach high aims it would have.

Hence, this would be seen as effective transfer for Sivasspor without doubt and would be able to push team forward for next season.

Denizlispor signs Mustafa Yumlu for 1 season.

Another Akhisarspor player Mustafa Yumlu which has signed contract with new-comers Denizlispor for 1 season and also has become added into squad which mainly focusses into experienced players.

Denizlispor carries on being one of the most active clubs at transfer window in Turkey so far, and its latest has been player which has played in many clubs at Super League level and for most amount of time has shown strong performance occassionally becoming key player at the squad for several games. Denizlispor and Yumlu himself would be aiming for sure to take this role again during next season without doubt and provide some strong attacking football as season would be progressing next season. With knowing level of performance of Yumlu this would be seen by us as good transfer for newcomers.

Denizlispor are making impressive squad but there are questions if those players would be able to turn into result at which it would be clear when season starts.

Fenerbahce has signed Vedat Muriqi for 4-years.

One of the most discussed issues during this summer transfer window has been future of the Rizespor player Vedat Muriqi future which was behind "love triangle" between his team, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.

According to deal which was made between sides, Fenerbahce has made 4-year contract with Vedat Muriqi for 3.5 million euro plus loaning 4-players to the Rizespor. It was known that Fenerbahce has shown strong interest towards Muriqi and has been 1st one to provide transfer offer to Rizespor but afterwards Galatasaray has provided an offer which made this transfer negotiations between all sides more heated up. However, with intense negotiations between Fenerbahce administrator Semih Ozsoy with Rizespor and also player manager Haluk Canatar has provided a deal which has led for Fenerbahce to be victorious at this transfer battle.

Even through in beginning there were talks that Burak Yilmaz doesnt consider to join Lecce, there are rumours taking place that Yilmaz might actually want to join Lecce during this summer, an aspect which carries on Italian side to carry on intense transfer negotiations with a player and club. It is in fact among curious aspects if this deal would be made in this summer or not.

Lecce are not showing any signs at giving with this transfer and carries on pushing Besiktas for deal.

Denizlispor interested with Gokhan Tore.

It is reported that Denizlispor are considering to transfer Besiktas ex-player Gokhan Tore who due of injuries in last years didnt recieve much playing time but still can show some good performance possibly,

Denizlispor as it knows aims to make transfers and has arleady made with players who are experienced at Super League, still good form and doesnt cost much amount of time, with Tore checking with experience and cost as he is free agent. Form however does raise some questions quite naturally as he didnt recieve much gaming time in recent seasons and could have some issues but it is quite normal for Denizlispor to insist on such player and also good opportunity for Gokhan Tore to prove that he can show top level performance at the Super League.

Time would show if deal would be made between two and our page as always would follow all developments.

Kayserispor has transferred VFL Bochum 19-year old player Omer Uzun for 5-years, as Uzun has been seen by many as potential star of Turkish football and hence this trust has been given towards him to Kayserispor.

It needs to be admitted that one of the quiet clubs during this summer transfer window has been Kayserispor as it aims to make good and on target transfers and hence moves into calm and strategic manner. It needs to be stated that also many clubs are going through making their squad for next season much more younger and getting potential players which could be related to Omer Uzun for sure.

This has also been an important move for a player as with relevant age he has shown incredible jump in his career, in well-deserved manner and would be playing among best players in world including Christiano Ronaldo.
