Sporting director Johannes Spors made a statement regarding the purchase option of Elias Jelert, who was loaned to Southampton from Galatasaray.
A temporary transfer fee of 300 thousand euros was received for Elias Jelert, who was loaned to Southampton from Galatasaray at the beginning of the season, and the purchase option of the English club for Jelert was set at 8.5 million euros.
While it was reported that Jelert’s permanent transfer option would not be exercised, a statement came from Southampton.
Sporting director Johannes Spors made the following statements to the Daily Echo from the British press:
“I THOUGHT MAYBE SHE READS AND BELIEVES THIS”
“I talked to him in the cafeteria and said: ‘Elias, when you read this, know that this is bullshit. Don’t listen to it.’ I thought maybe he reads it and believes it.

Why would a football club want to exercise an option in November with an option until May? This doesn’t make sense. Whether you want to exercise the option or not, you wouldn’t do it now. That’s what I said.
“HE WAS INJURED AT A BAD MOMENT”
He is a very good player and he was playing his best game for us when he got injured, he got injured at a bad moment.
He’s coming back now. We had to heal him little by little. “We have a game rush over the Christmas period and hopefully he will have recovered by then.”
