Trabzonspor launches 61,000 jersey drive while planning costliest squad

Trabzonspor Federation President İsmail Turgut Öksüz urged fans to purchase 61,000 jerseys, citing the club’s reduced debt—from about 13 billion TL to 5 billion TL—and calling for community support as the season approaches. The campaign seeks to rally supporters around the club’s financial recovery and upcoming transfers.

Fans voiced criticism on social media after President Ertuğrul Doğan defended a disputed project and praised a political figure, prompting calls for clearer club priorities. Meanwhile, Doğan announced that Trabzonspor is assembling its most expensive roster ever, expecting three to four additional signings and emphasizing that no new loans will be taken despite the high spending.

The combined messages highlight the club’s focus on debt management, fan engagement, and an aggressive transfer strategy aimed at returning to the league’s top positions.
