Serdar Aziz

Serdar Aziz — Biography

Serdar Aziz is a center-back, also able to play at right-back, who was part of Bursaspor's 2009–10 league-winning squad and later played for Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. He captained Bursaspor and scored on his debut for the senior national team. He left Fenerbahçe by mutual agreement in July 2024.

Born in Bursa, he joined a football school at ten and was soon taken into Bursaspor's youth system. Because of his small build he first played in midfield; he asked to move into defense and stayed there. He was loaned to the club's feeder side Merinosspor in 2007–08 and made his league debut in 2008 against Fenerbahçe. He developed under Şenol Güneş in 2014–15, was called up to the national team and was named in the league's team of the season; an injury kept him out of the Euro 2016 squad.

In 2016 he moved to Galatasaray for about €4.5 million, winning the Super Cup the same year and the league in 2017–18. In January 2019 he joined Fenerbahçe on a free transfer, signed a new three-year deal in 2022 and won the Turkish Cup in 2022–23, holding his place in a defense that also featured players such as Kim Min Jae and Attila Szalai.
