Acun Ilicali insists he will not stand in Jacob Greaves’ way if the Hull City centre-back wants the opportunity to play in the Premier League, but he is confident the Tigers will have as good a squad next term as they had in the last one regardless.
Profit and sustainability rules are becoming an ever-more important factor in English football and Hull's heavy spending since chairman Ilicali bought the club in January 2022 are restricting what they can pay in the upcoming transfer window. Ilicali says he is unable to invest more than £15m in upgrading a squad which narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season and adapt it to a more radical style of play under new coach Tim Walter.
“They can only let me spend £14m, £15m from my pocket so I'm spending it to the limit,” said Ilicali “There are some assets at our club – Abdulkadir Omur is a big talent who is our asset now, Jaden Philogene at the moment, Ozan Tufan. “If you ask me do we have the room to buy big transfers, we don't. If one of our players goes we will immediately make another signing, of course, but I don't want them to go because I love all of my players.
