GALATASARAY TO RECEIVE A 10 PERCENT CUT

Galatasaray will earn 10 percent of the transfer fee profit if Kerem Aktürkoğlu's move from Benfica to Fenerbahçe goes through.

ACCORDING TO THE PORTUGUESE PRESS, BENFICA ARE NOT LETTING HIM GO

According to a report by Portuguese outlet O Jogo, the Portuguese club wants to keep Kerem Aktürkoğlu in their squad due to Bruma's injury and the failed transfer of Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa.

Another reason behind Benfica's decision stems from the upcoming UEFA Champions League qualifying matches. The Lisbon club will travel to France to face Nice on Wednesday, 6 August at 20:00.

Fabrizio Romano reported that negotiations between Fenerbahçe and Benfica over Kerem Aktürkoğlu are ongoing.

After wearing the Galatasaray shirt for four seasons, Kerem Aktürkoğlu joined Benfica in the summer of 2024 for a transfer fee of 12 million euros. In 53 official appearances for the Portuguese giants, he scored 16 goals and provided 13 assists.
