ALI KOÇ: HE SAID I CAN’T GO TO F.BAHÇE UNTIL I WON

Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç talked about the transfer of Altay Bayındır and talked about the national goalkeeper’s sacrifice to earn money for the yellow-dark blue club. President Ali Koç said:

“I want to open parentheses on a topic. I just described the profile, we could not reach an agreement with Altay in time. We couldn’t come to an agreement, not because the negotiations took too long, but because our son is our son anyway, so we’ll meet in the middle when the time comes. Of course, it was January. What does it mean that when January ends, Altay has become a free transfer player, that is, a player without testimony? Naturally, offers poured in. He was also open to offers”.

“There was no situation where I needed to get permission from the club in any way. Therefore, the way for him was completely clear to greet another club. Fortunately, he and Sefa explained the offers and everything step by step. It’s a huge offer from Manchester United.”

“NO OBLIGATIONS…”

“There was nothing for Fenerbahçe to worry about as he was a free agent in this offer, but Altay extended his contract with Fenerbahçe when there was no obligation, no obligation. With the idea of ​​going to Fenerbahçe without earning it, here remains part of the sense of belonging, of commitment, of the humanity that the captaincy brings”.

“I RISK OF LOSING OFFERS”

“He extended this contract when he had no obligation to us. When this happens, if a player is a free transfer player, the interest, concentration and desire of the clubs are different. While there is a testimonial fee involved, it is different. He extended his contract with Fenerbahçe, risking losing the offers. Thank God it still happened, Manchester United.”
