Basaksehirspor has terminated contract with its player Arda Turan.

Basaksehirspor has terminated contract with its player Arda Turan in mutual agreement, after Turan has informed to club that he would be liking to use some other alternatives in his footballing career.

With Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz making it clear that he is not interested to transfer Turan at least during this mid-season transfer window, it does raise questions about what alternative is Turan talking about since most of the clubs around world are not showing interest towards him. In fact, since he is technically still signed player of Barcelona and would return to them when window would be closed. With remembering how Barcelona been active with selling him it is unlikely that as club it would like to follow in this route in this winter.  Basaksehirspor on their part would not need see this as huge loss due of the fact that in all fairness he didnt provide much help and assistance during past 1.5 seasons. But if Turan made this decision it does look that he has some strong plans which he believes would happen.

Therefore, future of Turan is expected to take interesting twists and our page would see how it would be developing.

Konyaspor has transferred Rogerio Thuram for 1.5 years

Konyaspor has transfer Las Pamia player Rogerio Thuram for 1.5 years with making strong its attacking area of the field getting player which does have some potentiality for pretty affordable price.

Without doubt, one of the areas which Konyaspor didnt need to get were attacking area as it is not providing very good performance in such area but with economical condition club is at, with similar case with other clubs, it was important for them to get stronger its part with more or less reasonable price. With Thuram capacity is not being clear could describe while deal has been made only 1.5 years. It would be interesting to see how player would be competing as not much information is known about Rogerio Thuram but its clear that would need some strong performance in attack.

Time would show how successful would Thuram be for Konyaspor and how he would affect with performance at his new club.

Sivasspor has made transfer deal with Abdul Khalili.

It is reported pretty actively that league leaders has made transfer deal with Kasimpasa player Abdul Khalili, as Sivasspor as it is known start focussing for league title in pretty serious manner.

Sivasspor for now is showing right transfer attitude with keeping at squad its main players and
currently aiming to transfer some strong but affordable players to make their aim for title even more closer. Khalili without doubt is being right now one of the leading players at Kasimpasa and if he does join Sivasspor, he would be playing crucial role at the midfielding zone and would help team getting closer to title aim with effort he has potential to give with his performance. Even through most Turkish media outlets did state that transfer has been made, there is no official statement regarding that from any parties and therefore it would become clear in upcoming periods for sure.

Abdul Khalili joining to Sivasspor, if it happens, would provide big help for its aims to them but time would show if this is actually case.

Galatasaray has loaned Marcelo Saracchi for 1.5 years.

Galatasaray continues its mid-season transfer period in active manner as it has loaned RB Leipzig player Marcelo Saracchi who is expected to improve team's midfielding area as 21-year old does provide lots of potentiality.

Even through he didnt recieve lots of playing time at RB Leipzig which has played key role for side to loan him, he has provided good performance in previous years with showing improvement by each year. Being young player could be also additional bonus, as compare to older players he would be certainly aiming to show some good performance which could personally provided some opportunities in his career. Therefore, if Saracchi would be able to provide high level performance and dont get injured like Andone, he would be able to show some strong performance and help team for fighting for league title once again during 2nd half of the season for sure.

Therefore, this transfer does look to be very effective for Galatasaray and could solve many issues at the midfield area.

Antalyaspor has terminated contracts with 3 players.

Antalyaspor newly appointed head coach Tamer Tuna revision at his team has started crucial signs as club has terminated contracts with Aly Cissokho, Tarik Camdal and Gerston Dela.

It needs to be mentioned that Antalyaspor which entered to mid-season break at relegation area needed to make some crucial changes, and terminating contract with players which would provide only harm would be sounding reasonable as both players didnt get high amount of playing time in this season. This decision would certainly provide some financially calmness and help side to get some money for upcoming transfers which would be helping side to stay in the Super League. Therefore, if some strong replacements could be found for this 3 players, team can provide some forward-seeking performance rest of season.

Tamer Tuna, meanwhile could carry with providing some more revisions for upcoming days and seek for good results.

Konyaspor are interested to transfer Oguzhan Ozyakup.

Konyaspor are interested to transfer Oguzhan Ozyakup who has lost some level of performance in recent years and doesnt recieve much playing time at Istanbul giant.

Not being very old player, if this transfer does take place it could provide him second chance which has been pretty similar with Ozan Tufan period at Alanyaspor. It is also visible that Oguzhan Ozyakup is willing to show some strong competitive performance but looks to be out of form which could be strong advantage for Konyaspor with taking account that he is willing to show same focus and concentration. Once again, this only being rumour but if this move does happen it could be win-win situation for all sides, as Konyaspor could gain a lot from Oguzhan Ozyakup.

Our page would follow how this story would develop in upcoming period of transfer window.

Galatasaray will not purchase Arda Turan this mid-season window.

Galatasaray CEO Mustafa Cengiz has renewed his statement that he is not interested to transfer Basaksehirspor player Arda Turan during this mid-season transfer window while player didnt attend to his team mid-season training camp.

According to reports, reason for Arda Turan not being included at Basaksehirspor mid-season training camp is due of getting permission and not necesarrily related to negotiations with Galatasaray. There has been some active talks in the media that head coach Fatih Terim did want to see Arda Turan in the squad but club administration didnt want him, but this has been declined by Cengiz. Therefore, it does look Arda Turan will not be taking place at least until next summer unless this has been done specifically by Cengiz or some things would turn around, as this page would cover this aspect.

For now, it does look like Galatasaray will not be going after Arda Turan transfer unless things will change until 31st January.

Fenerbahce wants for Alper Potuk to be loaned to other club.

Future of Fenerbahce of Alper Potuk during this transfer window in his club is being questionable as club wants to sell him but player himself doesnt want to live.

It is reported that Fenerbahce now focuses into convincing Alper Potuk to move to other side as loan player with referring to Ozan Tufan who has moved to Alanyaspor for half season and has returned much more strong player, reminding himself that he is football player. With Alper Potuk also providing some poor performance recently, this option does instead would be good option as he would recieve much more playing time in other clubs, and hence return to his form which he used to show, while staying at Fenerbahce would certainly only provide issues as he surely will not be selected to starting 11 for regular bases.

Therefore, if he wants to carry on his footballing career it would be great option for him to be loaned to other club at Super League.

Antalyaspor are interested to transfer Dusko Tosic.

One of the interesting transfer rumours coming out today has been reports that Antalyaspor are showing some interest to transfer GF Guangzhou player Dusko Tosic.

Player which has shown some good performance during Besiktas does have capacity to solve some of the defence issues in club with being strong player and also being very familiar with Super League. In fact, it could be stated that if Antalyaspor achieves to make transfer deal it could be best transfer for club during this mid-season transfer window. It is expected that Tosic himself would be looking forward to return to Super League and help Antalyaspor. If this rumour is true, it would be expected for Antalyaspor to give its all effort to transfer Tosic.

With this being only rumour right now, it does look like good option for side and this page would follow how this story would develop.

Trabzonspor has loaned Badou N'diaye until end of the season.

Trabzonspor has loaned Stoke City player Badou Ndiaye until end of the season as it aims to make its squad much more competitive for 2nd half of the season and N'diaye as player can play important role in its route for league title aims.

It was known that Trabzonspor were having interests with N'diaye for some time and have started transfer negotiations with him for some time right now and did have issues with making deal regarding how long he would be loaned for as Trabzonspor did reguest for 1.5 months while Stoke City were only interested for deal to be until end of this season. With Trabzonspor being aware that quality of player like N'diaye could push team forward let them to make deal with them for half of the season. Without doubt this transfer would be good one for side as N'diaye is being familiar with Super League as he provided good performance with Galatasaray being one of the leading side of the team. Without doubt, Trabzonspor would be hoping that he would be providing similar performance in this team also.

If Badou N'diaye would be able to provide similar performance as he did in Galatasaray then it would push team closer for title aim.

Antalyaspor has appointed Tamer Tuna as club's head coach.

Antalyaspor following sacking its head coach Stjepan Tomas on 31st December after very short period has announced today that it has appointed as club's head coach.

Even through Tamer Tuna didnt provide perfect performance during his stay at Goztepe during past two seasons, he did prove himself in previous season as strong and high level coach and could be good choice for team at pushing team forward. Stating that, it needs to be reminded once again that his job would not be an easy one at all due of the fact that its not being very strong squad and also has some financial issues, but does have administrations and fans which would be demanding for some good results. But as been noted Tamer Tuna as coach does have some good experience in such circumstances and does have capacity for team to provide some good results during 2nd half of the season but it wont be easy one.

This would be not easy challenge for Tamer Tuna in all respect but as been mentioned he does have experience and quality to get some good outcomes while being coach of the team

Galatasaray has loaned its player to Celil Yuksel to Adanaspor

Galatasaray has loaned its young player Celil Yuksel to get some experience time at Adanaspor until end of the season, where he would be able to get some playing time in lower division.

This needs to be stated is being good opportunity for Celil Yuksel, who without doubt is being seen as one of potential stars of Galatasaray and whole Turkey, as he would be able to get some important playing time and return to team after season in much better condition. Even through its being lower division, it needs to be stated that 1st league in Turkey is being pretty exciting and difficult one so Yuksel would still be getting place in tough game and able to get and provide that fighting spirit in Adanaspor, which has been lacked at Galatasaray during this season so hence its been good opportunity for Celil Yuksel to get some playing time and hence turn out to be strong, competitive player which would be bonus both to him and Galatasaray.

This loan deal would be strong opportunity to develop its potential player into good player and for now its role for Celil Yuksel to provide that performance.

Yeni Malatyaspor has transferred Kubilay Yildiz for 1.5 years.

Yeni Malatyaspor has been among few clubs which has started mid-season transfer window as it has signed Spartak Trnava player Kubilay Yilmaz for 1.5 years and who is being pretty young player would be expected to provide strong effect to team aims for 2nd half of season.

Being only 23-year old, an attacker would become good alternative in this area as Yeni Malatyaspor does have aims to end league at pretty high spot with head coach Sergen Yalcin having aims to make club into more attacking side and Yilmaz would be playing an important role to achieve this aim. With Kubilay Yilmaz being also Turkish player would mean that he would not have much issues with getting adapting to the league and side which would be also an important advantage both to them and player would likely to provide high level performance when joining side with having some time to get adapted to team from start of mid-season transfer window.

Without doubt, Kubilay Yildiz been transferred with high expectations and it would be for him to fulfill this expectations at short notice.

Trabzonspor has temporary appointed Huseyin Cimsir as coach.

Trabzonspor has appointed temporary Huseyin Cimsir as club's head coach, as player has spend most amount of playing career at Trabzonspor and did mark his place in the team history for certain.

With Trabzonspor being at shock when Unal Karaman has left team last week, it was important to find for him good replacement and it did so with appointing Huseyin Cimsir temporary since he is being from inside club and knows team culture very well.Only issue with Cimsir is that he is not having much experience as coach, with being assistant coach at Konyaspor in 2017. Hence, with taking account that club does have aims for league title and having some internal and external issues it could provide some serious problems with team performance in this period. So therefore, it is being big question if he would be able to get good results in such atmosphere, with such pressure from fans. Trabzonspor showing that even through doesnt say it publicly does have some alternative names for such position and it would be reasonable for Cimsir to move him as his assistant but main role could be tough for him.

Of course, if Cimsir would be able to get good results it would be important achievement and good opportunity to show himself as quality coach to everyone.

Fenerbahce has appointed Borussia Dortmund youth coach Marco Knopp

Fenerbahce has ended contract with its goalkeeper coach Alper Boguslu probably for being unhappy with performance of goalkeepers so far this season as their didnt provide great performance during their period at the club.

It has appointed instead Borussia Dortmund youth coach Marco Knopp in this position which could provide some important improvement with Fenerbahce goalkeepers as he did come from leading club in Germany and could foremost improve some discipline with club and improve performance of goalkeeper at 2nd half where club does have some strong league title aims. It is known that defence and goalkeeper performance plays crucial role with league title and hence this appointment would be able to move forward towards Altay Bayindir, who generally does show some good performance but have some areas to improve for sure and so does Harun Tekin. This appointment would be playing very important for sure to Fenerbahce aims for league title.

Marco Knopp as been mentioned is coming from top club and would likely help team to get high aims and raise level of performance of goalkeepers which is crucial for league title road.

What happened in Turkish football today? 01/01/2020

Fenerbahce did have pretty dissapointing 2019.

Even through Fenerbahce is currently only 6 points behind leaders Sivasspor and hence are at title race, it needs to be noted that team would be seen among main dissapointments of 2019 due of previous season performance and still not perfect game in this season.

Year 2019 for Fenerbahce has been described for sure with Ersun Yanal being club head coach and his saying for making team which would be dominating in this league and get league title. But among few games where it has shown great performance, especially at home ground, it is still pretty far from this aim. Still it needs to be noted that compare last season is still providing better performance and did have good summer transfer window but still its not showing that performance so far which is expected from club workers and supporters, and still didnt get into level which was promised from Ali Koc when he became CEO. Still, it needs in all fairness stated that Fenerbahce did show some big improvement when comparing with January and December for sure.

Fenerbahce is been included as dissapointment but with right direction and some successful transfers in mid-season break it could end season with title.

Besiktas has shown performance below its level whole year

Even through Besiktas could not been compared to Fenerbahce, as it did show more positive results its still can see at dissapointing as apart of 5-6 weeks period this season, it did provide performance way below their calibre in 2019.

It did start 2019 among title contenters of past season, but with Senol Gunes and national team crises it did lose some important points which costed them league title and even through it did enter to last weeks with again hope, it didnt get one with Galatasaray winning games in last weeks. With appointment of Abdullah Avci, especially during start of the season and Europa League it did provide very poor performance raising questions if it would be in similar case as Fenerbahce, but due of unstable season it did gain some points for getting to title race. Still, despite of some few games it still didnt show game which was highly expected from them and it does look that it would need to focus into improvement of the side by Abdullah Avci during mid-season break and also with some of the transfers during this period.

Still, Besiktas looks to be going into direction by each week and getting closer to level which Abdullah Avci likes to see from his side and hence being strong title contenders.

Bursaspor did dissapoint its fans in 2019.

Even through all teams which been relegated from top league during past season could be seen as dissapointing of 2019, one team does standout which is being Bursaspor as it became champions in 2009-10 season and does have good players.

Bursaspor due of winning its league title 9 seasons ago it was expected for a team to provide high level performance with having aims to get into European competitions and surely for team not to be relegated at the end of the season, and being relegated from Super League will not be acceptable for this side at all without doubt would be full failure. But it needs to be noted of course that side has been having some economical issues which did provide negative impact to squad and motivation with providing very poor performance. Our page doesnt provide focus into 1st league but it needs to be noted that Bursaspor quite naturally did focus into fighting to get back into top league, but it has entered to mid-season break with 8 behind leaders and still at play-off round last spot which would be seen as not high outcome. Without doubt Bursaspor does need to improve its performance right now for 2nd half if it wants at top league.

Bursaspor hence didnt provide good performance in 2019 but it can turn around things in 2020, common factor for teams in the article.
