Okan Buruk asks fans for patience regarding transfers

As part of their pre-season preparations, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk made statements while at the team's training camp in Austria.

Okan Buruk's statements are as follows:

WE MUST BE PATIENT

Galatasaray fans should be the least worried about transfers. They should be the most patient. We are working very hard on transfers. We have never made a transfer just for the sake of making one. We will make Galatasaray fans happy not with early transfers, but with the right ones. There are players we want and are in talks with. It could be in 1-2 days or later. The most accurate transfer here will come with patience. There are positions we are considering, but when we look at it, we have no deficiencies. Right-back and midfield transfers... We have always said this, and we are always thinking about it.

BATSHUAYI'S ROLE

We do not play exactly 4-2-3-1 as our game format. Mertens is already a number 10 with forward characteristics. When we defend against the opponent, we always do so with two players. We will use Michy Batshuayi in a front duo within this system. Michy's advantage is that he arrived and joined the team very quickly. He adapted very quickly, as if he had been playing here last year. He knows the team, he knows the league; in this sense, he has been a very important transfer for us.

We have work to do regarding every position. I always mention the positions, but we have very good players at our disposal. We are looking for players who will lead the team to success in the long term. Everything changes very quickly in our country. This year, it suddenly dropped to 12 foreign players. There is an adaptation problem. You cannot make transfers as you wish. You have to send some of the players you have. The 12-foreign-player limit restricts you. We want to sign 2 foreign players, and we will also look at Turkish options alongside that.
