Besiktas recruits Salih Özcan: 3+1 year contract for the middle

Why it matters

The recruitment of Salih Özcan by Besiktas is significant, as it brings valuable experience gained in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. By strengthening his midfielder, Besiktas hopes to improve his performance in the league and in European competitions. The absence of transfer fees also allows the club to allocate resources to other

needs in the team.

Background

Salih Özcan, a former Borussia Dortmund player, has been released from his contract and is now joining Besiktas, where he hopes to revitalize his career. This transfer is an opportunity for him to prove his worth in a new league and contribute to the success of his new club, which is looking to strengthen itself for the coming season.

Key points

• Besiktas recruits Salih Özcan: 3+1 year contract for the midfielder.
• Besiktas strengthens his milieu by enlisting Salih Özcan, who arrived free after his four-year stay at Borussia Dortmund.
• Salih Ozcan remains central to Besiktas's plans.

Besiktas has formalized the arrival of midfielder Salih Özcan, recruited free after a period of four years at Borussia Dortmund. The operation is led by coach Vincenzo Italiano, who thus recovers a central reinforcement for his Istanbul team. The player has signed a three-year contract with an optional additional year (3+1).

The Turkish club specified that the recruitment concerned a player "svincolato", that is to say free of any contract, which allowed Besiktas to bring him without transfer compensation. The management welcomed the new midfielder and wished him success under the black and white jersey.

Before finalizing the registration, Salih Özcan underwent the mandatory medical checks. They took place at the Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital, where he underwent a series of in-depth examinations: blood tests, orthopaedic consultations, internal medicine, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, general surgery and cardiology. The investigations were complemented by lung tests and a stress test.

This recruitment follows the trajectory of a player who played for Borussia Dortmund for four seasons in Germany. Besiktas relies on the experience gained in the Bundesliga to strengthen his game and offer Vincenzo Italiano more options in the middle. The free nature of the transfer allows the

turkish club to invest elsewhere while adding an additional tactical card for rotation and national and European competitions.

On the sporting level, the arrival of a midfielder from a club of a caliber such as Dortmund is perceived as a qualitative contribution for Besiktas. Without going into the contractual details not communicated by the club, the commitment over three seasons plus an option reflects the desire to build on the medium term around the player.

Besiktas, active in the transfer market, thus completes its workforce in a key position. For the moment, the club has confirmed the signature and the favourable outcome of the medical examinations; the next step will be to integrate Özcan into the professional group and to start it in the Vincenzo Italiano system according to the schedule and the sports choices of the staff.
