The knee: Soner Dikmen out for 22 days
22 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Antalyaspor lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The paperwork is done: Hamza Čataković joins from Esenler Erokspor in a deal worth $1.9M. Now comes the harder part.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Antalyaspor make their move for Cenk Tosun
$50.0K on the table at Kasimpasa. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

The formation has left Ahmed Kutucu behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Antalyaspor will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
