İrfan Can Eğribayat discusses past transfer and apologizes to Trabzon
Gençlerbirliği goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat has shared personal reflections regarding his career and past conduct. During a recent interview, the 28-year-old revealed that he nearly joined Beşiktaş's youth academy at age 14. He stayed at the Nevzat Demir facilities for two days, but the transfer ultimately failed due to a lack of agreement between the clubs.
Additionally, Eğribayat issued a formal apology to the people of Trabzon. He expressed regret for a gesture made toward the Trabzonspor stands during a match between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe on March 17, 2024. He described the action as something that did not befit him and noted that he felt more like a Fenerbahçe supporter than a professional player in that high-tension moment. The incident previously resulted in a one-match suspension by the Professional Football Discipline Board.
