The Istanbul Bashakshehir team, which entered the new season with high hopes and quickly left the Conference League, has seen significant changes.
The Istanbul club also failed to win the first three matches in the Turkish Super League. Therefore, Nuri Shaxin, well-known in European football, will now prepare the team for competitions.
In order to strengthen the squad, the management brought several famous players from the French championship. In particular, Rennes goalkeeper Doğan Alemdar and striker Bertuğ Yıldırım signed four-year contracts. Marseille midfielder Amin Harit has also joined the team on loan.
As a reminder, Eldor Shomurodov was loaned from Roma for one year during the summer transfer window. There is also an option to purchase later. Our 30-year-old legionnaire quickly became a leading figure in the team. Eldor played in 6 matches in the Conference League and 3 in the Super League, scoring against "Beshiktosh" in the previous round.
It's worth noting that the newcomer, Bertugh Yildirim, is also a central striker. He is considered a direct opponent of Shomurodov. However, Eldor's versatility lies in his ability to play effectively at any point on the attacking line.
Abbosbek Fayzullayev, the most expensive transfer in Bashakshehir's history, is still undergoing a full adaptation process. Until now, he has mainly been substituted. Interestingly, Amin Kharit's position is the same as Abbosbek's - a central midfielder. However, both are capable of attacking from the flanks.
The Istanbul club has been aiming to participate regularly in European competitions in recent years. The team's mission hasn't changed this season either.
The most important aspect for us is that in the season when the Uzbekistan national team can participate in the World Cup for the first time, our legionnaires Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullayev must be in leading positions at their clubs. Fans are also watching their performance in the new trials with great interest.
