Statements from Dursun Özbek: We are running for the 27th championship with Okan Buruk

Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek spoke at the sponsorship ceremony of Galatasaray Daikin Women's Volleyball Team.

Here are Dursun Özbek's statements:

"Okan coach is very successful. Galatasaray is very successful. I leave it to you how this success is evaluated by some. We are running for the 27th championship with Okan coach. No one can turn us from the path we have set out on. I am here to serve Galatasaray. Okan is here with the same understanding. We talk more or less every day, if we have problems, we solve them together. I say that the Galatasaray community should not believe what is said. We will become champions and break the record in the Turkish leagues."

'SINGO'S INJURY IS NOT SERIOUS'

"Singo's injury is not serious. It is something that occurred during training. He will be with us as soon as possible."

'THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF 50 MILLION EUROS'

"Galatasaray does not have any payment problems with its athletes. Everyone should know this. If you made the planning at the beginning of the season, you can ask why you did not buy them at that time. We also made a budget. We need to make transfers within the framework of this budget. The easiest thing for the manager is to pay the player you target and add him to his squad immediately. Galatasaray manager has to do this. Of course, he has to buy the player he wants, but he also has to protect his budget. This is the reason why some players come at the end of the transfer season. By purchasing the same players, 50 million between the beginning and the end of the transfer season. “There is a difference of Euros.”

CLEAR ANSWER TO OKAN BURUK CLAIMS

"Galatasaray management is one punch. Our goal is to have the most successful season in football and other amateur branches. We have no loss in this. Whoever said what is none of our business. I advise you not to trust such things. There is no such thing between our management and Okan Hodja. Period."

'WE ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE BROADCAST TENDER'

"We visited the TFF. We have a very important live broadcast tender ahead of us. As Galatasaray, we are in the commission. When you compare the live broadcast tender with other European leagues, it is low compared to other European countries. When you take Galatasaray's budget as an example, the share from live broadcast is around 1, 1.5 percent. In Europe, this rate is much higher. We attach great importance to the live broadcast tender. Of course, we will attend the meeting held by the Federation. This is something else. "I think it's wrong to attribute it."

AZIZ YILDIRIM'S WORDS

"In the protocol, we were sitting next to the president Aziz. Our acquaintance is not new. Of course, when we come side by side, we will say hello, if we have problems, we will talk. It does not change the fact that the 2026/26 season will be very difficult. All clubs have the desire to win the championship. That is why this season is a difficult season. Our concentration needs to be extremely good. The Galatasaray community is a very strong community. This year, hopefully, we will have our fifth consecutive season and our 27th season in total."

'I AM SURE WE WILL PLAY A SUCCESSFUL MATCH WITH BARCELONA'

"We will play an important match against Barcelona. Galatasaray has achieved success with the teams it has played at the top level in Europe. We hope for the same here. I am sure that we will play a successful match against Barcelona."
