Bülent Uygun: 'Bartuğ is a very talented player'

EMS Yapı Sivasspor Manager Bülent Uygun, from the Trendyol Super League teams, said, "We are in talks with some players. We have a transfer committee working to resolve our persuasion processes, club transfer fees, and other such factors. We want to make good transfers."

In his statement to reporters at the club's facilities, Uygun stated that they will play a difficult match against MKE Ankaragücü on Friday, February 2, noting that their opponents are well-organized and have a strong squad.

Stating that MKE Ankaragücü has a good squad built since the beginning of the season and a good fanbase, Uygun said, "I will most likely be in the stands. It is regrettable for us not to be present at this match. We will go to the Ankaragücü away game to showcase the beauties of football, reflect our game philosophy on the pitch, and fight on the field to win. God willing, we want to return with points and make our fans happy again."

"BARTUĞ IS VERY TALENTED"

Uygun stated that their new signing, Bartuğ Elmaz, is a good player and noted the following:

"Yunus Emre Konak was one of the best defensive midfielders I have seen in Turkey in terms of being a defensive holding midfielder. Yunus transferred to England. In his style, I had seen a Tugay Kerimoğlu in my time. Now, we have added Bartuğ to our team as a very talented footballer who likes to play a bit further forward than the defensive midfield position. We signed him on loan, but I think he will contribute a lot to the team and make us happy with his performance. Bartuğ is a talent who grew up in the Galatasaray youth academy, went to Europe, and then returned to Fenerbahçe. By doing good things with us, he will complete himself and achieve what he dreams of. As you know, not many talented footballers are emerging in Turkey anymore. We last produced Arda Güler. We had sent him to Real Madrid. Although the lack of training in youth academies sometimes leads to them getting injured in big teams or at higher levels, these talented children have shown all of Turkey what they can achieve. That is why we have to give more value to our youth academies than we currently do. Bartuğ is also a good talent and of good quality. He has great potential. Hopefully, we will develop him well, and he will work with all his might to become everyone's favorite with the game he plays here. I think we will give him the necessary support."

"WE ARE IN TALKS WITH 7-8 NAMES"

Explaining that they want to make good transfers as a team, Uygun concluded his words as follows:

"We are in talks with some players. We are trying to keep it secret. As it spreads, other teams make offers to them as well. Agents are always concerned with taking them to wherever they can get more money. Our negotiations with approximately 7-8 people are still ongoing. We have a transfer committee working to resolve our persuasion processes, club transfer fees, and other such factors. If we can handle it, we will sign 3-4 players within a week. We want to make good transfers."
