Serkan Won’t Play For Germany, Prefers Turkey
January 5, 2008
Serkan Çalık has decided his national future lies with Turkey. Despite having been born in Germany and having played for Germany at U21 level, Serkan has declared his future lies with Turkey.
Last summer Serkan moves from Rot-Weiss Essen, signing for Galatasaray. His ambition now is “to play for Turkey at senior level”. While he’s enjoyed some time on the pitch with the U21, he has told the Germany FA that his future lies away from his birth nation.
While the news might disappoint German fans of Serkan, the Turkish FA should be happy. Turning 22 in March, the striker has scored twice in the Turkish league this season in eleven games, while also featuring in Galatasaray’s UEFA Cup run, scoring once so far and helping Galatasaray to the last 32 of the competition.
