Description of Arda Guler
Özgür Özaktaç for the Arda Güler allegations, “Our Value Despite those who try to create the perception that ‘this transfer is people-oriented, almost by chance’, which is tried to be formed in the public about Arda Güler’s transfer process;
Before the age of 14, Arda Güler was a player who played in Turkish mixed, went to tournaments and was on the radar of big clubs. With the intervention of our Club and our President Ali Koç, the fact that Arda and his precious family are fans of Fenerbahce, and our Arda is a fan of Alex de Souza, in addition to all these, Arda Güler has become a part of our Fenerbahce with the material and moral steps taken by our Club.‘ he declared.
WAS THE PLAYER WATCHING UNIT TURNED OFF?
Fenerbahçe Infrastructure Manager Özaktaç also answered the allegations that the “Fenerbahçe infrastructure monitoring unit” was closed.
Saying that this claim is illogical, Özaktaç said, “Of course, this illogical claim has nothing to do with reality. The player monitoring unit of our academy continues its activities with a constantly developing approach and changing system. Dozens of players are watched from all over Turkey, and transfers to different age groups continue.
Compared to the previous period, which was called closed, a player pool and monitoring/tracking system covering the whole of Turkey has been established. It is not fixed to a single region and city. In the coming period, if necessary, I will also share details and statistics about the past period. I ask our community not to be a part of unrealistic agendas and not to take into account the negative claims about our academy.‘ he said.
