Row erupts: Fenerbahçe candidate blames Benfica and Mário Branco | OneFootball

Just like Benfica, Fenerbahçe is also close to holding its elections for the club leadership. One of the candidates, in this case Hakan Bilal Kutiualp, decided to address the transfer of Kerem Akturkoglu and pointed the finger at the eagles and Mário Branco.

In statements to Fanatik, one of the largest local sports dailies, the former Turkish Federation executive admitted that it was a 'trap': "We fell into the trap in the transfer of Karem Aktürkoglu. Mário Branco cornered us in this transfer".

After pointing the finger at the former sports director of Fenerbahçe, who swapped the Turks for the Glorious, the candidate recalled how the Istanbul emblem had a different approach to the market: "In our times, we were the 'playmakers' in transfers. We set up the game, we decided who came and when".

Finally, Ali Koç's opponent in the upcoming elections recalled that the reds delayed the departure of the former number 7, which ended up harming Fenerbahçe's European ambitions: "We couldn't sign Karem Aktürkoglu in time and he knocked us out".
