The signing ceremony took place at the Atilla Vehbi Konuk Facilities, attended by Antalyaspor Board Member Mehmet Demir.

Board Member Mehmet Demir wished both players well in the community, stating, “We have completed the transfer by tying two more players to our colors on the last day of the transfer window. I wish success to both midfielder Petrusenko and left-back Abdurrahim. I have no doubt that both of our players will put in the necessary effort for our club. I wish them success in our community.”

“We must set big goals”

Abdurrahim Dursun expressed his belief that this transfer would greatly benefit both his teammates and himself, saying, “I hope to represent Antalyaspor in the best way both on and off the field. No one should have any doubts about that. I look forward to meeting our fans as soon as possible.”

I have played in large communities like Trabzonspor, Adana Demirspor, and Ankaragücü before. Antalyaspor should also be where it deserves to be. We need to set big goals and work towards them. Antalya is a city known worldwide. Why shouldn’t we take Antalyaspor to Europe?”

“A big step for me”

Oleksandr Petrusenko conveyed his happiness and positive feelings about being in Antalya under the Antalyaspor umbrella, saying, “I know the culture here because I have been to Antalya 2-3 times before.

I have known about Antalyaspor not only recently but even 10 years ago, and I know both the fan enthusiasm and the club culture.”

Stating that the Super League is a tough league, the Ukrainian player concluded by saying, “It is an incredibly exciting league that is continuously developing. Being a part of this league is also important for my development. I see this transfer as a big step for myself.”
