Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek responds to Messi question

Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek answered a question about the potential transfer of Lionel Messi during a panel he attended at the Bosphorus Sports Summit. Addressing the question about Messi wearing a Galatasaray jersey, Özbek made statements regarding the club's transfer policies and economic situation.

"WE HAVE RAISED THE BAR"

Dursun Özbek used the following expressions in his speech:

"What did you say about Messi, could you say it again? The point where Galatasaray is most successful is the transfers it has made. We didn't make too many transfers, but we made them to the positions we needed, and we kept the team intact. We preserved the backbone of the team that has been champion for 3 years in a row, and especially the entire team. I believe we have built a successful team through transfers. We have raised the bar very high. We made the biggest transfer in Turkish football history. Galatasaray's economic level is suitable for these transfers. We have raised the level of success to a high level, which is why you are comfortably asking the Messi question. While doing these things, we have also achieved a good financial situation. We are not engaging in any activity that would disrupt this. All the work we do must remain within our financial capacity. That is why we have built a good team. Hopefully, we also have goals in Europe. We will do what is necessary to reach these goals."
