Turkish Super Lig poaching La Liga – Football special
Football in Turkey is on the rise as football revenues continue to increase nationwide. The competition has stiffened up as perennial champions Fenerbahçe came on level terms with Galatasaray as the Super Lig’s most decorated team. In the season before last,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bursaspor-c38700 won the league for the first time in their history.
As weaker teams have started to challenge the dominance of the Turk giants, the clubs have started to use their financial muscle in their favour. The Turkey-based clubs are linked to players all over Europe. Spain has been targeted by the Turks for their
share of high-profile signings.
Last season, Besiktas picked up Real Madrid veteran http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guti-c15452 as they build a team to challenge for honours. The player arrived on a free transfer and is currently the Captain of the Turkish side. Spanish international Daniel Guiza joined Fenerbahce after leading
his national team to Euro 2008 glory. The demand for Spanish players is high in Turkey and they continue to be linked to their neighbours.
Atletico Madrid fell victim to their Mediterranean neighbours as Galatasaray signed Czech international Tomas Ujfalusi in a 2 million Euros deal. The Lions have been linked with other Atleti stars as well, namely Diego Forlan and Jose Antonio Reyes.
The clubs website stated "After a meeting the player (Reyes) had in Seville with his representative http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mariano-c23890 Aguilar and Atletico sporting director Jose Luis Perez Caminero, all parties have agreed to decline the offer from Galatasaray, so the player will
form part of the Atletico Madrid first-team squad for next season."
Didier Zakora has already moved to Turkey in the light of Spanish postseason. Zakora has moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759 and has been handed the number 15 jersey for the upcoming campaign.
Besiktas have been making quite a stir in the transfer window. The club have snapped up Valencia’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Fernandes-c23397 for 2 million Euros. The player has landed a three-year bumper deal in Turkey, where his wages will rise every year. The club have also snapped
up Manchester United’s Bebe on-loan with the option of making the move permanent for 2 million pounds.
