On the record we can verify, 1 player club-trained at Kocaelispor now plays for other clubs we track, led by Gökdeniz Bayrakdar (Göztepe, value €720k).

• Gökdeniz Bayrakdar · Göztepe · €720k

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
