“They have wanted Enes since he was 16 years old, we had a €500,000 offer for him which the former president rejected. About 10 other clubs wanted him but he let him join Manchester City and now we have started gaining greater recognition outside Turkey,” Bölükbaşı was quoted as saying on NTV Spor.
