“If Yilmaz wanted to go to the financial statements, he had better options than Fortuna…”, says Ars. “Ultimately, it was our overall image that attracted it.” The attacker, who turned 37 in July, wants to continue playing football for another two years. After that, he has three more years at Fortuna to start his coaching career.
Ars played as a striker in Konyaspor and Karşıyaka, realizing Yılmaz’s greatness in Turkey. However, the big brain behind the transfer is Ogan Tarhan. “He is very good friends with Yılmaz and the right-hand man of our Turkish owner, Istan Gün,” explains Ars.
Gün and Tarhan want to gradually increase Fortuna
Tarhan is an influential name in Turkish football, but especially behind the scenes. He is the son of former national team coach Candan Tarhan and started playing football at a young age. Ogün Tarhan, 19, has already commented on the national team’s matches on Turkish television and worked as a press officer and tactical analyst for the Football Association during the 2002 World Cup, where Turkey came third.
Tarhan, who later became an agent, took on key players such as Hasan Şaş, Gökhan Gönül and Yılmaz. After becoming the owner of Fortuna in Gün 2016, Tarhan also took a close interest in the Eredivisie club. Together they want to help Fortuna get up gradually. The arrival of Yılmaz should be a major turning point in this process.
