Turkish clubs halt transfer moves as wage and squad list disputes emerge

Süper Lig side Kocaelispor has shelved the signing of Ukrainian right‑winger Oleksiy Gutsulyak. The club listed the player but negotiations failed because Kocaelispor limits annual salaries to €500,000 while Gutsulyak demanded €700,000, leading to the transfer being put on hold.

Galatasaray submitted its squad list to the Turkish Football Federation for the upcoming season but omitted four players – Victor Nelsson, Elias Jelert, Halil Dervişoğlu and Metehan Baltacı. Their exclusion indicates the club may part ways with them before the summer window closes, although no official statements confirming departures have been made.
