'We have made considerable offers'
However, the previous day, Ali Koç, the president of the Yellow-Lacivertliler, stated that they continue to push the conditions for the national player.

We also promised not to play him against Benfica."
'We are waiting for news...'
Continuing his speech, Koç said, "We even asked them to write the issue of not playing in the contract, and they ensured this by playing 5 minutes in the 3rd preliminary qualifier. But at this point, your offer is not valid.
