Aziz Yıldırım on transfers: Jose Mourinho, Ademola Lookman...

Fenerbahçe Presidential Candidate Aziz Yıldırım declared himself a born leader with vision, asserting that leadership cannot be learned but is innate. "You are not made a leader, you are born a leader. It's not acquired later. It's innate," Yıldırım stated during an appearance on TV 100.

Yıldırım also commented on potential transfers, specifically criticizing the possible acquisition of Ademola Lookman. He argued that Fenerbahçe's priority should be a center forward, not a winger like Lookman. "I'm glad they didn't sign Ademola Lookman. He's a good player, but he's a winger. Fenerbahçe needs a striker. They were going to sign Lookman as a striker. They were talking about 40 million. What a waste! It would have been a wrong move due to a lack of football sense," he said.

Regarding coach Jose Mourinho, Yıldırım suggested his approach would have been different. "Obradovic is one thing, Jose Mourinho is another. If it were me, it would be a different Mourinho. I wouldn't tell him 'deal with Galatasaray.' I would say, 'The outside of the pitch is ours, you focus on the pitch. Do your job.' Unfortunately, it went to other dimensions. Now if Perez is elected, he will go to Real Madrid. We couldn't benefit," he lamented.

Yıldırım also shared his vision for fostering a strong team spirit at Fenerbahçe's training facilities. "We want to create a spirit at Samandıra. I want players who are the soul of this club, like Kuyt, Dzeko, and Volkan Demirel, to be there too. We want to create a spirit at Samandıra," he stated.
