President Galatasaray: I was talking to Cial 20 by accident, just greetings and not talking about transfers

June 19th News Galatasaray Chairman Ozbek said that it was purely accidental to talk to Calhanoglu and did not negotiate a transfer with the Inter Milan midfielder.

Regarding the rumors of a transfer negotiation with Calhanoglu, Ozbek said: "This matter involves Calhanoglu. I want to clarify the misunderstanding that arises from a misunderstood conversation. Calhanoglu is the player we are proud of, he is the captain of the national team, a very successful player, and one of the most important players in European football. He is a talent that every team wants to have, and each team wants to include him in their roster.

But my conversation with Calhanoglu was not a transfer negotiation, it was purely accidental - I was sitting with a friend, and there was a group of people around, one of whom was on the phone with Calhanoglu, and he handed me the phone and we just gave a few simple greetings.

Cialhanoglu told me that he was a fan of Galatasaray since he was a child. I asked him how he was doing recently, praised his outstanding performance in recent times and his pride in representing Turkey in Europe, and I wish him all the best.

Of course, from the outside world, this may be mistaken for a conversation related to the transfer, but it is not the case. I am old enough to be his brother. As a Turk and a football practitioner, I am very proud of him.

If there is a chance in the future, I will certainly be willing to meet him again, wish him greater success in the national team and club, and take his football achievements to the next level. In short, this is not a transfer negotiation, it is important to understand this clearly from all angles."
