Loaned to Leicester City: Bad news for Galatasaray regarding the Yunus Akgün transfer!

Yunus Akgün, whom Galatasaray loaned to Leicester City at the beginning of the season, has recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in the 18 matches he has played for the English side.

The Yellow-Reds had included an 8 million Euro purchase option and a 9 million Euro mandatory purchase option in the national footballer's loan contract.

For the mandatory purchase option to be triggered, Leicester City needs to be promoted to the Premier League and Yunus Akgün must start 25 matches in the starting eleven; however, the national footballer has only started in the first eleven in 8 matches so far.

THE TRIGGERING OF THE OPTION IS NOW HIGHLY UNLIKELY

Leicester City, which continues its journey in the FA Cup and will play in the play-offs if it cannot finish the Championship in the top 2, currently has a minimum of 15 official matches remaining. It seems quite difficult for Yunus Akgün, who needs to start 17 more matches in the starting eleven for the mandatory purchase option to be triggered, to achieve this.

THERE IS ALSO AN 8 MILLION EURO OPTION

If the 9 million Euro mandatory purchase option is not triggered, Leicester City can still acquire the player's permanent transfer rights for 8 million Euros using the standard purchase option.
