The regular financial and administrative general assembly meeting of Fenerbahçe Club has started.
At the ordinary financial and administrative general assembly of the yellow-dark blue club held at the Ülker Sports and Event Hall, Orhan Demirel, who served as general secretary under the management of Sadettin Saran, conveyed the activity report of the period between March 1, 2026 and May 31, 2026, and gave information about the successes achieved during their tenure.
Referring to the financial balance sheet of the management periods, Demirel said:
"Our administration was elected to serve until June 2027. Therefore, the revenues for 2026-2027 were used to finance the activities we carried out during our term of office. I met with Mr. President Aziz Yıldırım and said, 'I will come out and explain the revenues used in advance. You also come out and explain clearly where you spent this money so that our congress members know the financial situation of the club and everyone can see the truth.' he said. I want to explain the situation since 2018. In May 2018, the club had bank debt of 347 million euros. It also had commercial debts of 34 million euros. The total was 381 million euros. It fell to 83 million euros in September 2025, while commercial debt reached 193 million euros. Here it is necessary to take bank and commercial debts into consideration. When we arrived, we eliminated the bank debt of 83 million euros. We don't owe a penny to banks. We reduced the commercial debt from 193 million euros to 187 million euros. This money was used to pay off bank debts and commercial debts. "In the figures I have shown, Ali Koç's donation of 72 million euros is also visible."
"INSTALLMENTS OF EN-NESYRI CONTINUE"
Orhan Demirel also made a statement about the installments of the transfer fee of Moroccan football player Youssef En-Nesyri, which caused Fenerbahçe to receive a transfer ban from FIFA.
"En-Nesyri has installments. He has a payment of 2 million 850 thousand euros that will come to the club at the end of this month. Therefore, En-Nesyri's payment installments continue." Demirel said:
"In June, we stated that there was a payment of 30-33 million euros due to the season combinations that left us with a cash deficit. Among these, it is not only En-Nesyri's installment. There are 7 more football players along with En-Nesyri, there are also payments of players who have not played for us, that is, former players, not only En-Nesyri. Therefore, these were also payable in June. Thanks to the new management, the first installment was paid on June 18. I guess the second installment is the first. "Since the installment was paid late, there is a 45-day period at the end of May, because the president will give information about the second installment now and the installments from En-Nesyri are continuing."
AZIZ YILDIRIM: "YOU ARE RUINING MY INTENTION, WE WILL CHANGE THE USEST"
Aziz Yıldırım, who took the podium after Orhan Demirel's speech, reacted to the works done during the Sadettin Saran period and used the following statements:
"I will tell you very long things. Maybe we will start the most important financial congress in the history of Fenerbahçe. Everyone will know everything. We will not learn it secretly, in the newspaper, on television, or on YouTube, I don't know where. We will learn it here. I will tell it.
We promised, we took the team to the Champions League, now the championship is next. We will make this team champion this year, you will see! Know that I will leave the presidency next year as a champion. I will make you a champion.
Let's talk about Orhan Bey and Sadetin Bey's story. You ate the money. Orhan, don't defend him at all. En-Nesyri came for 8 million, Mr. Ali Koç bought En-Nesyri for 19 million 500 thousand Euros. 6 million transfer fee is unpaid in 2,950 installments. The installment comes in April, you don't pay it. We receive a letter from FIFA on June 15. All documented. They bring it to us and we say 'we have to pay'. I will tell you how much money I paid, how much money came in. I will explain the UEFA correspondence. If you don't pay, the penalty comes. One of them is new, I paid for the first one and we sent the second one on Sunday, no problem. Look, I'm paying 6 million. You took the money and ate it. You took away 8 million because it was cheap. Say you ate like a man. Look Orhan, I don't have any intention, you are ruining my intention. "We will change the ablution."
"Did you eat the money and what did you do? BE BRAVE AND BRAVE!"
"We sold Sidiki Cherif, yes we sold it! I thank Hasan Çetinkaya, Cihan Kamer, Oğuz Çetin. They did not come and buy the player by saying 'this is a football player'. We sold him for 25 million Euros through a person that Hasan knows! He can't even play where he went! He was a great player, so you sold him! 5 percent of the training share is gone. We give 10 percent commission. We give the rest of the money when we buy it." There is another 16 million euros to be paid for the transfer fee. It could be 18, it is 18. I will hold the statute congress in January and February. I will say that the money cannot be spent on the transfer fee.
You say that we left so much money, but next year, after I take over, I will not sell lodges, VIPs, or combinations, I will not sell anything. Whoever comes in at 27 will be the owner. You say we left 100 million from Ataşehir, 90-95 will come. There is no money to arrive for 1 lira until March and April. Tell me from here! You're nailing 100 million. No money can come from there until April or May. However, if Mr. Özgür does his share, something will come. Come out and say it! 100 million will remain for the next administration, I will not let it be used.
You sold a player named Yusuf for 25 million 700. 13 million of this was purchased in advance and you had 12 million paid off. 1 million 100 thousand Euros were lost due to the destruction. Did you eat or what did you do? Which debt? Look, be brave and courageous.
You sold Szymanski for 10 million euros, bought 4 million 300 in advance, had him cut for 5,700, and lost it. The money received in En-Nesyri is 8.5, there will be two installments, one in September and one the next year.
You received 20 million from Chobani, 10 million of which is this year. 10 million minus. You took and ate 141 million euros. When you arrived, Ali Bey left 24 million Euros in the bank. You left 7 million to us. You closed down the Banking Association with 75-76 million from the capital increase. There's nothing you can do."
