Elche, a club recently promoted to La Liga, expressed interest in acquiring Yusuf Demir from Galatasaray. However, the transfer was ultimately canceled due to salary disagreements. Yusuf Demir's annual salary at Galatasaray is 1.6 million Euros, while Elche's offer stood at 900,000 Euros. Galatasaray maintained that the full salary should be covered, resulting in the cancellation of the transfer. Despite Elche's considerable efforts, particularly in light of Yusuf's La Liga experience with Barcelona in 2021, the transfer did not come to fruition. Galatasaray had already included plans to offload players not part of Okan Buruk's future strategy for the new season, which initially made the transfer seem promising. Elche's interest was largely motivated by Yusuf Demir's previous experience in La Liga and his potential contribution to their team. However, the financial disagreement remained unresolved, forcing Elche to cease their pursuit of the young player.
