Galatasaray Technical Director Okan Buruk said, “We have players to buy, we have players we meet. We want to establish a large squad. We need to have two good players in each region. In this sense, our efforts continue. Our management works in good faith. We will make transfers.”
Galatasaray defeated Czech Republic’s Sigma Olomouc team 2-0 in the third friendly match in the Austrian camp. After the match, Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk made statements. Buruk said, “We are loading our players in this camp. We did double training yesterday as well. The fatigue of this arose in a certain part of the first half. Our goal is to start the league in the best way and to maintain our performance in the best way after the league starts. We want to play a fast-paced game. “We saw it from time to time. We weren’t perfect, but we did quality work in certain parts of the game. As in the second goal. This made us happy. It’s nice to win, but it’s important for us to prepare well for the league,” he said.
“WE WILL MAKE TRANSFERS”
Expressing that a very ambitious management is coming, the experienced technical man said, “A new technical team has arrived that everyone is excited about. There has been a positive atmosphere here. We want to maintain this atmosphere. There are players we will buy, there are players we meet. We want to establish a large staff. We need to have two good players. Our efforts continue in this sense. Our management is working with good intentions. We will make transfers. Meanwhile, there are people leaving. These separations may continue after the camp return. An offer came to Diagne. We had three strikers. We couldn’t give him much time. “He evaluated the offer. Morutan is also an important player of ours, we have an investment. He needs to play. If he plays elsewhere for a year, maybe he will return strongly to Galatasaray. Sivasspor has an interest,” he said.
Regarding the players returning to the team, Okan Buruk said, “We can clearly see the quality of Yunus from the first training session. It is also very important for us that Yunus grows up from our academy. These players set an example for Galatasaray. He sets an example for the academy. Today again Hamza entered, Özgür Baran entered. Emin Bayram also played well. Hopefully, we will reveal many stars like Yunus.”
“OUR NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE FOR THE TRANSFER”
When asked about the transfer process, Okan Buruk said, “Negotiations for the transfer continue. There are players we are getting closer to. Hopefully, the players we have and the players to come will form a good mosaic.”
The experienced coach also said about the new transfer Sergio Oliveira, “He did quality work. He is an important, leading player. He is a player who cares about the team and can lead the team. He is a player who captained Porto. He needs to show this.”
