Galatasaray gives the green light to Kerem Aktürkoğlu transfer

Galatasaray General Secretary Eray Yazgan stated that they will not exercise their priority rights regarding the new transfer of Fenerbahçe, Kerem Aktürkoğlu. It had been reported that Benfica informed the yellow-red club about Kerem Aktürkoğlu, for whom Galatasaray holds a priority right, and was awaiting a response within 5 business days.

Galatasaray's decision on this matter was of critical importance regarding whether Fenerbahçe could include Kerem Aktürkoğlu in their European squad list. The club made a statement on the issue, saying, "We will not be an obstacle to the European squad list in the Kerem Aktürkoğlu transfer."

GALATASARAY'S STANCE

General Secretary Eray Yazgan commented on the matter, saying, "Benfica asked whether we would exercise our rights regarding Kerem Aktürkoğlu. The 5-business-day period ends on September 5. We are watching with astonishment as Fenerbahçe manages this process while unaware of the facts."

SUPPORT FOR TURKISH FOOTBALL

Emphasizing that Galatasaray is a patron of Turkish football, Yazgan said, "Galatasaray is a club founded with the goal of defeating non-Turkish teams. Our rivals attack us with slanders, but we show the truth and teach a lesson in morality. We will not be an obstacle to the European squad list in the Kerem Aktürkoğlu transfer. Furthermore, I wish success to Samsunspor, which is competing in the Conference League."
