Galatasaray is preparing for the big TBL game against Fenerbahce on Monday, but as Turkish media reported two local key players, Ender Arslan (photo) and Kerem Gonlum, are out of roster after a decision of the new managment, because they sued the club for unpaid salaries.
So despite the recent announcements about the situation, the Turkish club still has financial issues unsolved. To be exact according to Eurohoops sources in most cases players are still owned two monthly salaries and that creates many questions. It was a common secret during the summer that the deals with most players were completed in July, but the announcements were made in the end of August because the team didn’t know its exact budget for this season. As it turnes out, money is still an issue and it remains to be seen how this situation can be resolved.
Update: The two Turkish players are back on the roster of the team for the Monday derby against Fenebahce/Ulker after a new meeting with the management. Both Arslan and Gonlum said that they lawyers acted without their permission.
