The transfer of Azerbaijani national team player Toral Bayramov to the Turkish club "Bursaspor" has brought our national team members playing in the Bursa team back to the agenda.
Idman.Biz reports that "Bursaspor" announced on May 25 that they had reached an agreement with Toral Bayramov. The club noted that the 2001-born football player mainly plays on the left side of the defense, has played 40 matches for the Azerbaijani national team, and has appeared in more than 60 European Cup matches.
Before Bayramov, members of the Azerbaijani national team also wore the "Bursaspor" uniform. One of them was Deniz Yılmaz. He was part of the Bursa club in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 seasons.

Ozan Can Kökçü is also on this list. He signed a contract with "Bursaspor" in 2017 and wore the uniform of the Azerbaijani national team. Although the football player did not play in a league match for the Bursa club, he was part of the team's system.
One of the names that Azerbaijani fans remember better is Namig Alasgarov. He played for "Bursaspor" in the 2021/2022 season and scored six goals in 32 matches during that period.
Ufuk Budak was also in the Bursa team in the same season. The left-back defender played one match for "Bursaspor" in the 2021/2022 season. He is also among the football players who wore the uniform of the Azerbaijani national team.
