NYON: UEFA on Wednesday banned Turkish champions Galatasaray from European competitions for one year for breaching spending rules. The UEFA club financial control adjudicatory chamber ordered the ban after Galatasaray “failed to comply with the terms of the settlement agreement” made with the European body in May 2014, said a statement. Galatasaray have spent heavily in recent years to buy the likes of Germany’s World Cup winner Lukas Podolski and Dutch star Wesley Sneijder. They have also been ordered to cut back on wages. But UEFA referred the case to its tribunal in January after Galatasaray did not balance its budget for the 2015-2016 season as promised.
