Crazy number 1! Jaw-dropping number

100 million Euros went to the number one player! Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe spent so much money on a goalkeeper transfer that it's unprecedented in Turkish football. This transfer truly shook the world.

Defending champions Galatasaray pursued star goalkeepers in Europe but, failing to achieve results, turned their attention to the domestic market. The Yellow-Reds signed Trabzonspor captain and goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır for €33 million, plus €3 million in bonuses, for a reported fee exceeding €36 million.

Fenerbahçe has secured Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, a player Galatasaray has been long-sought. The Yellow Canaries, who delivered a stunning dribbling performance against their arch-rival, paid City a €15 million transfer fee. The 32-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, who signed a three-year contract, earns an annual salary of €11 million.

Now everyone is asking the same question:

“How can these crazy amounts be paid when Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe's total debt exceeds 40 billion TL?”
