Samsunspor Chairman on İrfan Can Eğribayat's Future: 'We're Experiencing Back and Forth'

As the chairman of Samsunspor, I want to provide clarity on the situation surrounding our goalkeeper, İrfan Can Eğribayat. We've been in a back-and-forth regarding his future since his loan from Fenerbahçe. Initially, İrfan expressed his desire not to stay with us, but recently, his stance has shifted, and he now wishes to continue his career at Samsunspor.

“

Fenerbahçe’den gelen İrfan Can Eğribayat konusunda bir gelgit yaşıyoruz. Önce Samsunspor’da kalmayacağını söyledi, şimdi kalmak istediğini söylüyor. Ama henüz net bir durum yok. Çünkü bu biraz da oyuncuya bağlı.

However, the situation remains fluid and is significantly dependent on the player himself. We have two other highly competent goalkeepers, Okan and İrfan Can, who are performing at a comparable level and are more than sufficient for our needs. We had previously reached an agreement with Bilal Bayazıt, but that transfer did not materialize. Therefore, it's highly probable that we will continue with our current goalkeeping setup.

“

Samsunspor’da iki tane eş değerde kalecimiz var. Okan ile İrfan Can neredeyse aynı seviyede ve çok iyi kaleciler. Bunlar bize yetiyor.

While we would ideally like to keep İrfan Can, our priority is to ensure the team's stability and performance. The decision will ultimately hinge on various factors, including player commitment and our overall squad strategy. We are committed to making the best decision for Samsunspor.

İrfan Can’ı takımda tutmak isteriz.
