Regarding transfers, Tekke confirmed that new signings are expected to bolster the squad. "Cabral and Pina will be with us on July 18," he announced. However, the status of player Oulai is still undecided, with ongoing negotiations to determine if he will stay with the club. Tekke noted that while "there is a lot being written and said," the team's focus is elsewhere, and they have accelerated their transfer activities, with "one or two more moves" planned.

Tekke anticipates a challenging start to the new season due to the significant squad changes. "Considering the number of new players and those who might leave, we have to start the game almost crawling again," he explained. The team has begun meetings to review player perspectives and formations, recognizing the limited time for preparation. "Therefore, especially at the beginning of the season, a difficult process awaits us. However, when we evaluate it in terms of transfers, things are going very well, and we are excited about it."

There is a lot being written and said, but our focus is different.

Responding to questions, Tekke offered a philosophical outlook: "There are many questions. It's not on my agenda, but the agenda is very full. The truth has a characteristic: the truth will eventually come out, it cannot be hidden."
