Göztepe, which completed the first half of the 2025-2026 season in the Super League in 4th place with 32 points, accelerated its transfer efforts. The yellow-reds signed a 3.5+1-year contract with 25-year-old offensive midfielder Alexis Antunes, who first played for the Swiss team Servette, and started to make initiatives for the forward line. It was stated that the staff, who had previously contacted Peruvian Victor Guzman, Brazilian forwards Ricardo Mathias and Andre Henrique, also added German striker Ryan Don Naderi to the list.
It was noted that the scout team, who closely follows the 22-year-old football player who plays for the German 3rd League team Hansa Rostock, gave a positive report, and the final decision will be made by coach Stanimir Stoilov. The German striker, who started his career with Dynamo Dresden, was transferred to Hansa Rostock after playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach U19 Team. Naderi, who played 15 matches in Hansa Rostock this season, scored 7 times in the 3rd League.
