Dimitris Kourbelis has embarked on a new chapter in Turkey, sealing a loan move to Karagümruk, officially confirmed by the Turkish outfit following negotiations with Trabzonspor.
The Greek international midfielder, aged 30, is set to grace the fields of Andrea Pirlo’s former club for the next six months. Karagümruk, engaged in a fierce battle to secure their position in the top division, eagerly welcomes Kourbelis into their ranks.
Kourbelis’s journey to Karagümruk follows his transfer as a free agent last summer from Panathinaikos to Trabzonspor. Despite his move to Trabzonspor, the midfielder faced challenges in securing the desired playing time. This prompted his transition to a new team, offering him the platform to showcase his talents on the pitch—a crucial factor considering the potential selection for the upcoming Euro 2024, where Greece aims to compete on the fields of Germany.
The loan move signifies a fresh opportunity for Kourbelis to reignite his career, gaining valuable game time and experience at Karagümruk. As he aligns himself with a club striving for survival in the elite league, the midfielder aims to make a significant impact, potentially bolstering his chances for a prominent role in Greece’s national squad in the near future.
