As part of their offer, Arsenal are willing to loan Donmezer back to Adana Demirspor for a year and a half to continue his development.
Former Adana Demirspor vice-president Metin Korkmaz confirmed the offer, stating, “All the big clubs in the Super Lig are interested in his transfer. We talked to Galatasaray about Deniz. They are keen on this transfer, they have a priority in the transfer, after which they can make a bid for Deniz and Maestro. Arsenal have sent an official offer. They offered €3m. According to this offer, they will pay the money, but Deniz will play with us on loan for a year and a half. Then he will join Arsenal.”
Korkmaz also indicated that other Super Lig clubs, including Galatasaray, are interested in Donmezer.
Arsenal’s willingness to allow Donmezer to remain at Adana Demirspor suggests a long-term plan for the young goalkeeper.
The club has a strong track record of nurturing young talent and could provide the ideal environment for Donmezer to reach his full potential.
The opportunity to join a Premier League club like Arsenal would be a significant step in the young player’s career.
While the €3 million fee could prove to be a shrewd investment for Arsenal in the future, it remains to be seen whether Adana Demirspor will accept the offer, given the widespread interest in Donmezer.
