Muhammed Demirci, who grew up in Beşiktaş’s infrastructure and was expected to mark a period, unfortunately could not jump the career ladder as he wanted. Muhammed, who started training in the Barcelona infrastructure at the age of 10 and was introduced as ‘Native Messi’ and ‘New Sergen Yalçın’ for a while, toured many teams but could not show the expected performance. The 28-year-old left-handed, who appeared in 8 different clubs, made a surprise transfer in the 2023/24 season.
THE WEIGHT OF FAME HAS LOADED ON THE SHOULDERS
Muhammed Demirci, who has been carrying the weight of fame on his shoulders since he was 10-11 years old… Raised in Beşiktaş’s infrastructure and introduced to the press in 2006, Muhammed, who was touted as the ‘Domestic Messi’ for a while, caught the attention of world giant Barcelona at the age of 11.
BARCELONA TRIED AT 10 YEARS OLD
The Catalan team invited Muhammed, who is expected to mark Turkish football, to Spain and tried the promising number 10. Muhammed, who spent 2 weeks in Spain and returned to Turkey after a short Barça adventure due to the testimonial problem Beşiktaş wanted, could not climb the career ladder as he wanted.
‘WE ARE MORE TALENT THAN THEM WITH TURKER BUT’…
Talking about his Barcelona adventure years later, Muhammed Demirci said, “I tell my friends about the Barcelona days. I was transferred to the Barcelona infrastructure. Anybody there could have been successful in my place. We Turkish players are more talented than them, but they have a better development process. They are more professionals than us.” .
THE NAME ‘LOCAL MESSI’ HAS INFLUENCED ME NEGATIVELY’
Stating that the nickname of the local Messi had affected him negatively, the football player, born in 1995, used the following statements:
The nickname of the native Messi affected me negatively. Something nice I did was perceived as normal and people always wanted the best from me. I think this kind of analogy hurts the players. Football players can be crushed under the word ‘new Messi’.
ONLY 18 OFFICIAL MATCHES WITH THE BESIKTAS KIT
Included in the Beşiktaş A team squad in 2012, the number 10 with a height of 1.69 was able to take part in only 18 official matches with a Black and White jersey. Muhammed, who could not contribute to the goal, contributed to the score with only 1 assist to Beşiktaş, and it was time to leave.
DON’T MAKE THE EXPECTED EXPLOSION
Mohammad, who was loaned to Gaziantep FK in August 2014 (then called Gaziantep BB), played in 14 matches in the Southeast team. Years passed, and Mohammed could not make the expected explosion. Born in 1995, the midfielder went on his second European tour in August 2015 and was sent to Belgium representative Royal Excel Mouscron for free.
HE HAD A HALF SEASON IN BELGIUM
Having spent half a season in Belgium and struggling to find a chance to play, Muhammed returned to Turkey with the Istanbulspor jersey. The young player, who played 8 games in Istanbulspor in half a season and scored 1 goal, played for the Yellow and Black team on loan the next season.
CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ISTANBULSPOR
In the 2016/2017 season, Istanbulspor won the championship with 68 points in TFF 2nd League White Group, ahead of Amedspor, and Muhammed, who scored 5 goals in 21 matches, drew attention with his promising performance. The left-handed player, who also appeared in Istanbulspor’s TFF 1st League squad and played 14 official matches in 2017/2018 and 22 official matches in 2018/2019, was able to score 2 goals in total. In 2019/2020, Muhammed, who fell out of favor, took only 4 matches in the league, and was loaned to 24Erzincanspor, which was in the 3rd League at that time, during the half-time period.
24 MOVEMENT PERIOD AT ERZİNCASPOR
24Erzincanspor took the 2nd place in TFF 3rd League 1st Group after Serik Belediyespor, who was the champion with 55 points, with 52 points. Erzican team defeated Artvin Hopaspor 4-2 in the Play Off Semi-Final match and 68 Aksaray Belediyespor 2-1 in the final, while Muhammed Demirci made his name in the TFF 2nd League, with 3 goals and 1 assist in 11 games.
URFA AND SARIYER PERIODS
Muhammed Demirci, who left the team at the end of the season, returned to Istanbulspor. Demirci, who was not included in the staff planning of the Istanbul representative, was sent to Şanlıurfaspor free of charge. Playing here with 1 assist in 10 games, the 26-year-old player took the road to Sarıyer at halftime and scored 1 goal in 8 games.
FAILED IN MOUSCRON
Muhammed Demirci, who is shown among the most remarkable players of Turkish football, could not give what he wanted. Muhammed, who started training in Norway’s Rosenborg team in 2014 but was found insufficient, could not even enter the squad in Mouscron, where he went in 2015.
I WANT TO WORK WITH SERGEN HOCA
Emphasizing that his dream is Beşiktaş again in an interview he gave in 2020, Muhammed used the following statements: “My dream and goal is to play for Beşiktaş again. I cannot go to Beşiktaş with my current situation. When I improve myself, I think I will play in Beşiktaş again. I would like to work with Sergen Yalçın Hoca.”
BROKEN CAREER RECORD
Returning to 24Erzincanspor in August 2021, Muhammed had the opportunity to show his skills.
Muhammed, who played 3 goals and 1 assist in 11 games in his first term at 24Erzincanspor and was in the squad where the team won the Play-Off championship and advanced to the 2nd League, showed that he focused only on football in his second term. Having played in 34 matches and scored 15 goals in Erzincan in the 2nd League White Group, Muhammed broke his career record. Besiktas, Gaziantep FK (named at that time: Gaziantep Metropolitan Belediyespor), Mouscron, left-handed player who could not experience the joy of scoring in Şanlıurfaspor and scored only 1 goal in Sarıyer, scored 8 goals in 70 matches in Istanbulspor.
BROKEN THE ROUTE TO ISTANBUL SIGNED TO TUZLASPOR
Muhammed, who is the lover of the fans in Erzincan and whose name is also mentioned with the Super League teams, broke the route to Istanbul and took the path of Tuzlaspor, one of the 1st League teams. The left-handed player, who played 21 matches in the league and 2 matches in the cup with Tuzla jersey in the 2022/23 season, failed to score a goal and managed to make 4 assists. Having played 2 matches in the league in the 2023/24 season, Muhammed left Tuzlaspor and returned to the 2nd League.
RETURNED TO THE 2nd LEAGUE WITH THE İSKENDERUNSPOR Shirt! 9. TRANSFER
As the football public was about to lose their hopes for the talented left-handed, Muhammed, who signed with TFF 2nd League teams Anagold 24Erzincanspor in July 2021 and started to speak his class, agreed with İskenderunspor after his Tuzlaspor adventure. In the transfer statement made by İskenderunspor Club, “Our club has recently signed a 2+1 year deal with midfielder Muhammed Demirci, who plays for Tuzlaspor. We wish the agreement to be beneficial for both our player and our club.” it was said.
CURRENT VALUE 150 THOUSAND EURO
The current market value of Muhammed Demirci, whom even 11-year-old Barcelona admires and wants to transfer to its infrastructure, is currently 150 thousand Euros. The 28-year-old number 10, who played 190 official matches in his professional career, scored 28 goals and made 9 assists.
WHERE WILL THE ROAD END? WE’LL WAIT AND SEE…
We will wait and see how the career journey of Muhammed, who is shown as one of the names that could not meet the most remarkable expectations of the recent period, will be in the coming years.
