Acun Ilicali addressed recent unsubstantiated reports concerning the summer transfer window for Hull City, the newly promoted Premier League club. On his X social media profile, Ilicali expressed his concern regarding the circulation of false rumors and the utilization of the club, which he owns, to generate media interest. To proactively counter these rumors, he posted an unusual announcement.
The post included a list featuring eleven players who have already joined Hull City. However, the players’ names were omitted; instead, the post displayed only the flags of their respective countries, suggesting their identities. Accompanying these flags was a stated probability percentage for each player joining the squad.
This roster, according to reports, was assembled last season by Sergej Jakirović, the former coach of Maribor. The move by Acun Ilicali to use such a cryptic format—relying solely on national flags and probability estimates—was intended to provide an official update while managing the speculative nature of transfer news. The details shared by Ilicali aim to preempt further speculation surrounding the club’s transfer activities as it begins its season in the Premier League.
