18-year-old defender Efe Sarıkaya, who plays for Altay, which has hit the bottom financially and sportingly in the Trendyol 1st League, attracted the attention of the French giant Paris Saint-Germain. It was learned that the PSG scout team followed the last match in which Altay lost 1-0 to Boluspor at home. The player monitoring unit of the French representative, who came to the Manisa FK match where the black-whites lost 3-0 away the previous week, took the young defender under the spotlight in his Boluspor appointment when Efe did not have a chance in that match. The national player, who remained in the game for 90 minutes against Boluspor, received a passing grade with his performance.
Efe Sarıkaya, who attracted all the attention with the 2 goals he scored against Lithuania in the European Championship Qualifiers in November with the U19 National Team jersey, will have his contract with Altay, from whose infrastructure he trained, expire at the end of the season. The management plans to renew the contract with the young defender and earn a significant transfer fee at the end of the season. Super League teams were also interested in Efe, whose name was mentioned with Manchester City and Atletico Madrid last season. It was reported that Antalyaspor was also seriously interested in the young football boot, with whom Bodrum FK came to an agreement stage at the beginning of the season.
