Ali Koç's statement on Uğurcan Çakır: If we had done it...

Koç said, "The most important goalkeeper transfers this transfer season are Donnarumma and Ederson. So who is the most expensive one? Uğurcan Çakır. If we had made this transfer, they would have said everything imaginable about us."

Ali Koç continues his election campaign ahead of the Extraordinary General Assembly. Speaking about the departure of head coach Jose Mourinho, Koç said, "You remember how Jose Mourinho came here. Bringing Jose here was a big deal. We told Jose, 'We cannot become champions this way.' We didn't like the squad either, so he changed it. We talked, and I assume we reached an agreement. Anyone can be eliminated by Benfica, but we couldn't see the light in the football we played."

Evaluating Fenerbahçe's new head coach Domenico Tedesco, Koç noted the following:

"Tedesco had already analyzed 3 of Trabzonspor's matches by the second meeting. He had also analyzed the ones we played. He is a coach who has experienced semi-finals in Europe and gets results very quickly in his first years. Getting results this year is very important for us."
