Burhan Can Terzi detained over Galatasaray Musiala claim, released after court hearing | OneFootball

Turkish journalist Burhan Can Terzi was detained over allegations of spreading misleading information about a supposed Galatasaray agreement involving Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala.

Mundo Deportivo reports that he gave a statement at Istanbul police headquarters, was then referred to court, and the court ordered his release.

Galatasaray twice denied Terzi’s claims, while he maintained his reporting was accurate.

The club accused him of attempting to mislead the public and of misrepresenting their approach to transfer business.

The Bakirkoy chief prosecutor’s office opened a probe into the offence of publicly publishing misleading information. The episode drew dismay in football and media circles.

Musiala, 23, is under contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2030.
