Goalkeeper Luka Gugeshashvili, who was suspended from the squad at Süper Lig side Göztepe due to undisciplined behavior, has not been pardoned and is expected to part ways with the club during the mid-season transfer window.
At Süper Lig side Göztepe, it has been reported that goalkeeper Luka Gugeshashvili, who was suspended following the fourth week of the league, will not be pardoned and the management plans to part ways with the player during the mid-season.
Suspension Process and Reactions
At Göztepe, which continues preparations for the Eyüpspor match following the international break in the Süper Lig, the decision regarding goalkeeper Luka Gugeshashvili—suspended after the fourth week due to undisciplined behavior—remains unchanged.
During the process where Göztepe conceded four goals in the first half of their 4-2 home defeat against Gaziantep Football Club and faced fan protests, the Georgian goalkeeper drew heavy criticism due to his statements directed at the supporters on social media.
Management's Decision and Mid-Season Plan
Despite three weeks passing since he was suspended by the management, the yellow-red management has not taken a step back regarding the twenty-seven-year-old goalkeeper.
It is considered all but certain that Göztepe will part ways during the mid-season with Gugeshashvili, who was added to the squad on loan from Greek representative PAOK during the summer transfer window.
New Era in Goal
Following Luka Gugeshashvili's suspension from the squad, Arda Özçimen, who came up through the youth ranks, took over the goal for Göztepe.
The technical staff and management at the yellow-red club are continuing their preparations for the remainder of the season in line with this arrangement.
