Drama! Akturkoglu has just left Benfica and is already in hot water | OneFootball

The move of Kerem Akturkoglu to Fenerbahçe, the biggest rival of Galatasaray, his former club, is causing a lot of controversy in Turkey. Now, it seems that Yunus Akgun, who had a long-standing relationship with the former Benfica player, has erased him from a photograph, in a Stalin-like manner.

In Turkey, after this incident, the press reports that the relationship between Kerem Akturkoglu and Yunus Akgun is on the brink of collapse. The truth is that the former Benfica player, upon the completion of the deal, also deleted all photos with the Galatasaray jersey from his social media.

“I really wanted the transfer. I came to Fenerbahçe to win the championship. We made a great effort for this to happen as quickly as possible, so I could join the team and take the field with my teammates. Better late than never. I came to the biggest and most honorable club in Turkey,” stated Kerem Akturkoglu, in comments that did not sit well with Galatasaray fans.

It should be noted that Kerem Akturkoglu moved to Fenerbahçe in the last days of the transfer market. Benfica agreed to release the Turkish international for 22.5 million euros, plus 2.5 million based on the achievement of certain individual and collective objectives, which were not disclosed.

In total, with the Benfica jersey, Kerem Akturkoglu – valued at 24 million euros – played 53 matches, scored 16 goals, and made 11 assists. In terms of titles, the Turkish international won a League Cup (2024/25) and a Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup (2025/26).
