Trabzonspor is reportedly interested in signing Galatasaray forward Ahmed Kutucu, but face resistance from Galatasaray manager okan Buruk who wishes to keep the 25-year-old until the end of the season. Galatasaray values Kutucu at around $6 million (5.1 million euros) and is unlikely to accept offers below that figure. This interest follows previous attempts by Trabzonspor during the summer transfer window.
Trabzonspor’s Pursuit
Trabzonspor coach Fatih Tekke has been closely monitoring Ahmed Kutucu’s performance and is keen to add him to the claret-blue squad. The club made a push for Kutucu during the last days of the summer transfer period, but negotiations between the two clubs stalled, preventing an agreement. Though, Trabzonspor has maintained its interest in the player.
Galatasaray’s Stance: No Sale Unless Valuation is Met
Galatasaray appears reluctant to let Kutucu leave, particularly given his recent contributions to the team. Manager Okan Buruk wants the player to remain with the club through the end of the current season.
galatasaray’s reasoning centers around Kutucu’s age and potential. The club is hesitant to part ways with players under 28 who are eligible to compete in the Champions league. Kutucu’s improved form in recent weeks has further solidified his position within the team’s rotation.
According to reports, Galatasaray has set a firm price tag of $6 million (5.1 million euros) for Kutucu, and will not consider offers below this valuation. https://www.fanatik.com.tr/futbol/superlig/trabzonspor-ahmet-kutucu-icin-hareke-gecmisti-galatasaray-teklifleri-reddetmisti-2444391
