Statement from İsmail Kartal on Çağlar Söyüncü and transfers!

Fenerbahçe hosted Adanaspor at home in the 5th round of the Ziraat Turkish Cup.

The Yellow-Navies defeated their opponent 6-0 with goals from Lincoln, Batshuayi (4), and Mert Hakan Yandaş.

After the match, Fenerbahçe manager İsmail Kartal made a statement regarding the Çağlar Söyüncü transfer.

Here are İsmail Kartal's statements:

"We wanted to win at home tonight against Adanaspor and advance to the next round. We achieved a nice, decisive victory. We are happy to have reached the Round of 16.

We fielded players who have had fewer opportunities in this match. In the end, all my players did their best. I wish Adanaspor success in their upcoming matches."

"I THANK OUR PRESIDENT VERY MUCH"

We needed to act early in the transfer market. We had injured players, and we are competing on 3 fronts. I would like to thank our president very much here. They have started to adapt to the team early.

Squad depth was important because we will play more matches in the second half of the season.

KRUNIC'S PERFORMANCE

I think Krunic played a good match despite it being his first. He started as a number 6, then we moved him to center-back, and he did a good job there too.

"WE MIGHT MAKE 1 MORE TRANSFER"

With the 2 transfers we have made so far, we have found our own balance. Perhaps there could be 1 more transfer in the coming days, but we are not conditioning ourselves for it.

STATEMENT ON ÇAĞLAR SÖYÜNCÜ

We have not made a definitive decision regarding Çağlar Söyüncü and departures; we will evaluate them over time."
