Hakan Safi ignores Sporting warning: deal with Luis Suárez | OneFootball

Hakan Safi has once again put Luis Suárez at the center of the election campaign for the Fenerbahçe presidency. Just one day before the Turkish club’s elections, the businessman said he still has an agreement with the Sporting striker and promised marquee signings if he wins the vote.

Speaking to local media, the candidate for the leadership of the Istanbul club said he already has several deals lined up to strengthen the squad. “Negotiations for the transfers began weeks ago. We have an agreement with Luis Suárez, Demiral and Greenwood,” said the Turkish billionaire.

Hakan Safi’s comments come after Frederico Varandas publicly responded to the matter, making it clear that any potential departure of the Colombian international will only happen if the release clause, set at €80 million, is paid. Even so, the Fenerbahçe candidate chose not to address Sporting’s demand.

Instead, Safi opted to reinforce his message to the fans, promising to build a team capable of ushering in a new era at the Turkish club. “There is still more to come. I do not speak without signed contracts, dear fans. We thought very carefully about these deals and meticulously selected names that would meet the expectations of Fenerbahçe supporters,” he said.
