Football, every day.
Independent football news, player data and squad research, with sources you can check.
What Almost Signed is
Almost Signed is an independent English-language football publication. We connect sourced news with player profiles, squad information and dated market values throughout the season. During transfer windows, we also track reports from the first credible link to an official outcome.
Who operates the site
Almost Signed is independently owned and operated from Türkiye by Emre DİLEK, Founder & Editor. Emre is the accountable publisher and is responsible for editorial standards, corrections and the decision to pause or change the automated workflow. Participating editors and disclosed research systems are listed on the Editorial Team page. Every indexable article identifies its publication path and accountable publisher.
How a story is produced
Approved feeds and sources are collected automatically. Editors may review a draft manually, while an autonomous path can publish sourced football coverage after its evidence, identity, duplication, factual-support and independent-critic checks pass. Transfer-specific claims also undergo route checks. Coverage includes contracts, player availability, competitions and other football developments. Each article identifies its own sources and publication path; automation is not presented as individual human review.
What makes the coverage different
Reports are connected to verified football records and ranked with an explainable evidence model. The Almost Score combines source reliability, independent confirmation, club need, financial fit and reported player interest. Failed predictions remain in the historical record.
AI transparency
Automation and AI may assist collection, matching, drafting and labelled editorial illustrations. They may not invent facts or sources. Every article discloses whether it was manually reviewed or passed the autonomous publication gate, while the named publisher remains accountable for corrections. Read the full AI Usage Policy.
Independence and revenue
The site may be funded by display advertising and future reader-supported products. Advertising cannot purchase coverage, alter a source tier or change an Almost Score. Almost Signed has no ownership, employment or representation relationship with a football club, league, player or agent and has no betting focus.
