As the presidential election at Fenerbahçe approaches, it has been learned that Hakan Safi met with Ali Koç. This contact before the election opened a new topic in the backstage, although the details of the discussion remain unclear.
Fenerbahçe presidential candidate Hakan Safi also delivered striking messages during his speech at the extraordinary general assembly. Safi stated that he set no limits for himself regarding Fenerbahçe and did not hesitate for a single moment about his candidacy.
Contact for Transfers Started Weeks Ago
Safi explained that they visited various European clubs, examining their football models and club cultures. He mentioned meeting important football figures during this process, including Maldini, a name associated with football circles like Fabio Capello and Paolo Maldini.
Addressing transfer efforts, Safi said the contacts began weeks ago. He revealed that agreements have been reached with three players so far: Luis Suarez, Merih Demiral, and Mason Greenwood.
While making these statements, Safi emphasized the official nature of the process by saying, "I don't speak without a wet signature." He noted that they carefully considered every detail when making agreements and selected players who would meet Fenerbahçe's expectations.
Safi asserted that they would not be among those who settle for mediocrity or are late in transfers. He added that two executives are waiting in London and will come to Istanbul once the wet signatures are obtained. If they receive the mandate next week, the announced players will be presented in front of the fans.
The meeting with Ali Koç before the election and the transfer messages given to the stands have further energized the presidential race at the club. All eyes are now on both the election results and the official steps regarding the announced players.
