Galatasaray and Trabzonspor leaders discuss finances and management
Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek addressed the club's recent activities during a board meeting, highlighting significant financial and infrastructure developments. Özbek noted that while transfer delays drew criticism, the strategic timing saved the club approximately 50 million euros compared to July prices. He also provided updates on major real estate and facility projects, including the Leo Residence and the Aslantepe Vadisi project, which is expected to serve various Olympic sports and amortize its costs within ten years.
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan discussed the club's recent management changes and expansion plans. Doğan addressed the departure of coach Fatih Tekke, describing the resignation as a unilateral decision that occurred without proper communication with the board. He expressed disappointment regarding the process but acknowledged Tekke's contributions to the team's success and player development.
Doğan also announced that Trabzonspor has secured instructions for a new land allocation in Kemerburgaz, Istanbul, exceeding 100 decares, to support the club's facility projects. Additionally, he confirmed that the club decided to retain defenders Arseniy Batagov and Chibuike Nwaiwu despite receiving serious transfer offers, as part of a strategy to remain competitive this season.
