Burak Yilmaz explains Instagram post

The captain met with the board on Wednesday evening. In this meeting, Burak indicated he would finish the season in yellow and green of Fortuna. "I will be available for Fortuna in the remaining seven games," the 37-year-old striker said. "I realize that the message has caused turmoil. It was a moment when all emotions came together, including frustration because not everything turned out as hoped. In the end, that is also part of football."

Burak continued: "We took an important step against FC Groningen in the fight for retention, which was and still is our top priority. Now that we are in good position, we must also dare to look ahead. With an eye on next season it might therefore be good to let other players make minutes. That was actually the message of my Instagram-post."

Future
Burak signed a five-season commitment upon his arrival in Sittard. Both parties will remain in talks with each other over the coming period in this regard. "I haven't made a choice for the new season yet. We have seven more games and then the season normally will be over. I want to use the next few months to think about my future, so that later I make a choice I fully support."
