Kerem Aktürkoğlu’s Message to Fatih Terim: “I Am Grateful to You”

Kerem Aktürkoğlu, who transferred from Galatasaray to Benfica, celebrated his former coach Fatih Terim’s birthday with heartfelt words.

Galatasaray sold Kerem Aktürkoğlu to Benfica for 12 million euros, along with a 10% share from any future sale profit. After signing a five-year contract with the Portuguese club, Kerem Aktürkoğlu did not forget his former coach at Galatasaray, Fatih Terim. Kerem celebrated Fatih Terim’s birthday with the following post on social media:

“Every coach I’ve worked with has contributed greatly to my career. But the one coach who made me feel his unconditional love and support to become better is you. I am forever grateful for your contribution to making me ‘Kerem from Galatasaray.’ Happy birthday, coach. I wish you a long life full of health, peace, and prosperity with your family. Your student, who loves you dearly, Kerem.”

In his interview with Benfica’s club channel, Kerem Aktürkoğlu also addressed the fans, saying: “I can promise the fans that I will fight until the end. I will always give 100% on the field and support my teammates.”

Kerem Aktürkoğlu is now recorded as Galatasaray’s highest-paid domestic transfer after Arda Turan.
