Galatasaray became Turkish league champions for a record 21st time last month.

Uefa said it also concluded that Besiktas has fully complied with its targets under a previous settlement agreement for the 2017-2018 season.

It said Fenerbahce and Trabzonspor had partially fulfilled their targets under respective agreements and that transfer restrictions and limitations on player numbers would continue to apply in the 2018-2019 season. — Reuters
