Bursaspor is considering transferring Hull City's 30-year-old Nigerian winger, David Akintola, as part of its plan to build an ambitious squad for the upcoming season. It is understood that initial contact has been made with the club, which is owned by Acun Ilıcalı. Bursaspor officials are expected to travel to London to start formal negotiations, conditional on receiving approval from President Enes Çelik. The club's management is handling the process secretly and is carefully assessing the player's salary expectations and the conditions of the transfer fee.
