Göztepe, which added striker Guilherme Luiz to its squad before the second half of the Super League, added its 11th Brazilian player to its squad in the last 2 years. Sport Republic company, which took over Göztepe’s football branch in the 2022-2023 season, flocked to the Brazilian market in every transfer period. The yellow-reds, who watched many Sambacs from Europe as well as the Brazilian Series A and Series B, reinforced every region except the goal. Sport Republic officials first started the influx of Brazilian players by adding defender Heliton and striker Romulo to their squad during the half-time of the 2023-2024 season.
While Göztepe made its mark in the Super League that season, the staff once again turned to Sambacılar. Last season, left back Djalma Silva, midfielder Victor Hugo, and forwards Juan and Emersonn were acquired. At the beginning of this season, two strikers Romulo and Emersonn were sold to Europe for very serious money. While Romulo went to the German team Leipzig for 20 plus 5 million euros, Emersonn was given to the French team Toulouse for 3 million euros.
THE OTHER GOATTER WILL ALSO BE BRAZILIAN
Göztepe did not give up on Brazilian football players in the summer season. While Janderson was installed in the forward line, Rhaldney came to the midfield, Ruan came to the right-back and Godi came to the centre-back. Göz-Ez once again chose Brazil in the interim period and signed Guilherme Luiz, the 21-year-old striker of Serie A representative Ceara. It was stated that Göztepe, which signed a 4.5 plus 1-year contract with Luiz, would purchase another striker and that this striker would be Brazilian.
