Galatasaray, which is indisputably the flash team of the transfer, has added many star names to its roster. Erden Timur, Deputy Chairman of Sportif AŞ, who is in charge of the transfer operation of the Yellow-Red Club, shook the agenda with the statements he made last night.
Making evaluations about the transfer period on GS TV, Timur said, “Is there ever been a football player that you wanted but could not get?” He answered the question, “There were two transfers that I wanted but did not happen. I cannot give the names at the moment. Because we will continue that dialogue and sincere process for the coming periods.”
After these words everyone said, “Who are those two stars?” While searching for an answer to the question, the football players named by Erden Timur became clear.
Eden Hazard is the first name that Timur could not get, although he pursued him for a long time during the transfer period. Galatasaray management met with the Belgian star, who was unhappy in Real Madrid, and reached an agreement to a large extent. As with the Mauro Icardi transfer, the Spanish club has also made serious progress in paying a significant part of the salary. However, this transfer did not happen when Hazard gave up his desire to leave the team at the last minute.
The second star Timur did not name is Adama Traore. Galatasaray made a great effort to add the Spanish winger wearing the Wolverhampton jersey in the last week of the transfer period. The negotiations were blocked when the management, who shook hands with the English club, could not overcome the problems about the high salary.
Erden Timur also used the phrase, “We even went to a lot of imaginary names, there will be no limits to human imagination” in the program that made a lot of noise.
According to the news of the calendar, the football player Timur is implying here is Cristiano Ronaldo. The name of the Portuguese star was mentioned with Galatasaray at the end of the transfer period, and even the news was made a joke. However, it was stated that the management seriously discussed with Ronaldo, discussed the financial terms of the transfer, but the negotiations ended because the star football player did not want to come to Turkey at the moment.
