If it is like this than it doesn't make any sense to accumulate status miles in turkish airlines anymore until April 2022 if you can get in another star alliance program more miles for the same flight and maybe to use the time to get a status in another program.

I ask this because I have 2 longhaul return flights in December with LH and LX In SAS EuroBonus I will 200% of the miles while TK give me only 150%
Yes, if you have fulfilled the missing 9000 miles, your status would get extended another 2 years on April 2022 and you would have your Elite Plus status valid until 30 April 2024.
As you've mentioned, until 30 April 2022, the miles you earned would only count as bonus miles and lifetime-status miles ( if they implement this in the future: not confirmed yet ) so you could try crediting to another program and try to re-achieve *G status or enjoy your *G status with TK.

By the way, a kind reminder that on some occasions, you might not use your *G benefits when crediting miles to another partner as most *A airlines do not allow cross-benefiting of two different FFPs.
