FC Porto give Deniz Gul time off after Turkey exit at World Cup 2026 | OneFootball

FC Porto saw Deniz Gul and the Turkey national team eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in the group stage. The player will benefit from a few days of holiday and, according to the newspaper A Bola, the Dragons have decided that he will not have to report to Olival on July 1, the date when pre-season work begins.

Even so, according to the same source, the striker is part of Francesco Farioli's plans for the training camp FC Porto will hold in England between July 13 and 18. Even so, the possibility of Deniz Gul’s transfer being negotiated has not been ruled out, despite his low-key performance at the 2026 World Cup.

Galatasaray showed interest in the forward, but ultimately turned to other options. Deniz Gul is under contract until 2029 and has a release clause set at €50 million. He finished the season with 51 appearances, nine goals, and one assist.
