It has been learned that Danish businessman and sportsman Markus Andersen wants to buy Göztepe, one of the Turkish Super League teams.
After the Aytemiz Alanyaspor match in Göztepe, one of the Spor Toto Super League teams, the resignation of the chairman Mehmet Sepil, it became a matter of curiosity whether the club would be transferred or not. It has been learned that Rasmus Ankersen, a Danish business and sports person, has been in official contact with the yellow-red people for 6 months.
While many company names are mentioned with Göztepe on social media, it has been learned that Danish business and sports person Rasmus Ankersen has been in official contact with the yellow-red people for 6 months. The 39-year-old businessman, who was appointed as a team manager in Midtjylland, one of their teams in Denmark, and brought the team to international success, made the club a champion and took it to the European arena. After this success, Ankerse turned the route to England and took part in the Brendford team. Ankersen, who managed Brendford for 6 years, took the club to the Premier League for the first time in its 74-year history. Danish businessman, who was one of the founding partners of a sports fund called Sport Republic in England in 2021, became the owner of Southampton in 2022 with this fund.
It was stated that Ankersen had been meeting with Göztepe for 6 months. It turned out that Ankersen came to İzmir twice, visited the Gürsel Aksel Stadium, the infrastructure facilities planned to be built in Torbalı, and the Urla Adnan Süvari Facilities. Ankersen stayed as the guest of President Mehmet Sepil during his travels to Izmir. While it was learned that the two sides continue their contacts, it was noted that Rasmus Ankersen will invest in Göztepe.
Ankersen’s football career came to an end after he suffered a serious injury in his first game for Midtjylland at the age of 18. However, Ankersen, who did not break away from football, took on the task of coaching in Midtjylland and developed infrastructure projects. Rasmus Ankersen, who is known as the man who created the legend of Midtjylland in Denmark, made his name known to the world with his investments in football despite his young age.
