Galatasaray issues warning to NEOM over Barış Alper Yılmaz

The statement released on the yellow-red club's official website included the following remarks:

"As Galatasaray Sports Club, we are meticulously continuing our preparations for the new season with our men's football team. Our main goal is to compete with the strongest squad structure in both the Süper Lig and the UEFA Champions League, and to bring new successes to our community.

Within the framework of this plan, protecting our current group of players, ensuring the stability of our squad, and making the necessary reinforcements to the required areas are among our priorities.

We are closely following the transfer news regarding our players that has appeared in the public eye in recent days. Every player in our squad is an important asset to our club. In addition to their contributions on the pitch, our players' sense of belonging and their fighting spirit make all Galatasaray fans happy.

However, we regret to state that, despite their offers having been rejected on multiple occasions, it has been determined that some clubs are disregarding FIFA rules and holding unauthorized meetings with the representatives of our players who are under contract. These attempts are clearly contrary to the ethical values of football and international regulations.

Galatasaray Sports Club has not remained silent in the face of such unethical contacts aimed at undermining the will and peace of our players, and the necessary formal warnings have been sent to the relevant institutions. We would like to emphasize that we will follow this process in the most determined manner.

All our fans can be assured that Galatasaray will not only protect its squad but will also continue its efforts with determination to strengthen it even further."
