Market19 Jun 2028

Hasan Hüseyin Akınay says no to Bandirmaspor

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Hasan Hüseyin Akınay had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market19 Jun 2028

Corum FK say no — this time

The offer from Istanbulspor for Pedrinho was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom19 Jun 2028

Corum FK go back to the board over Kevin Chacón

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $60.0K — a club that wants Kevin Chacón enough to be asked twice.

Alper Efe Pazar arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Alper Efe Pazar has, at Corum FK, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Market19 Jun 2028

Corum FK sign Alper Efe Pazar for $170.0K

The paperwork is done: Alper Efe Pazar joins from Serikspor in a deal worth $170.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Corum FK

Braian Samudio was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

An offer of $56.0K for Kevin Chacón

Corum FK have gone to Sakaryaspor with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Corum FK

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Douglas Baggio was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market19 Jun 2028

A long bet from Corum FK on Berke Özçelik

He is 20, and nobody at Corum FK signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

The Konyaspor Courier

19 Jun 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Market19 Jun 2028

Business is business: Diogo Gonçalves goes

Galatasaray paid $9.3M and Konyaspor took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

The terraces19 Jun 2028

A $9.3M sale, and a town that did not want it

Diogo Gonçalves has gone, the accounts have $9.3M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market19 Jun 2028

Marko Jevtović puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Konyaspor, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Jean-Luc Dompé in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Konyaspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market19 Jun 2028

Business is business: Berke Özçelik goes

Corum FK paid $440.0K and Konyaspor took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

No deal for Ertuğrul Taşkıran at that price

Konyaspor offered $11.0K; Alanyaspor said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Konyaspor rebuffed over Aral Şimşir

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Besiktas have kept their man, and Konyaspor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Efe Seçil signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Efe Seçil commits to Konyaspor for another 4 years.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Sandi Ilicic falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

The paperwork begins on Berke Özçelik

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Corum FK have done the hard part with Konyaspor, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market12 Jun 2028

Corum FK say no — this time

The offer from Bandirmaspor for Hasan Hüseyin Akınay was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market12 Jun 2028

Cemali Sertel raises the bar for Corum FK

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Corum FK heard it as anything else.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at Corum FK

Braian Samudio and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad12 Jun 2028

A move Ömer Ecin would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ömer Ecin is living that version at Corum FK, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words at Corum FK training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Douglas Baggio is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom12 Jun 2028

Corum FK agree a free transfer for Ahmet Şen

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

The dugout12 Jun 2028

No hiding place for Mame Thiam

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Mame Thiam, and the manager let it.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Corum FK count the cost of losing Umut Torun

35 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
