While Galatasaray was continuing its intense negotiations with Trabzonspor and Eren Elmalı, they were trying to find a middle ground regarding the payment plan. While the claret-blue club wanted 3 million euros in cash, the issue of paying a certain part of this amount in installments was on the agenda for Cimbom.
According to the news of TRT Spor, the transfer of Eren Elmalı to Galatasaray ran into difficulties because an agreement could not be reached on the payment terms, although all other conditions were agreed upon.
