New signing Ciro Immobile on Beşiktaş: A decision that will change my whole life

In Beşiktaş, which is continuing its new season preparations in Slovenia, Second President Hüseyin Yücel, Football Branch Manager Feyyaz Uçar, and new signing Ciro Immobile held a press conference.

Hüseyin Yücel responded to transfer rumors regarding Hermoso, Angel Di Maria, and Gedson Fernandes, while Feyyaz Uçar stated that Brad Friedel is continuing his work regarding players to be sent from the team.

Immobile emphasized that by accepting Beşiktaş's offer, he made a decision that would change his life, and revealed that he received information from Sirigu, Bonucci, and Mertens before coming to Istanbul.

Feyyaz Uçar's statements are as follows:

"WE ARE MAKING TRANSFERS WORTHY OF BEŞİKTAŞ"

"Something that hasn't happened in recent years is happening; we are delivering the team to the coach ready. This is an extremely important situation. All head coaches want to see their entire squads ready. I would like to thank Hüseyin Yücel, who has put in great effort in this regard. I was present for all of the recent transfers. I know the sacrifices he has made. I thank him very much. I thank our President Hasan Arat and our other fellow board members. I say welcome to Immobile. If we look at the transfers since we arrived, we believe we are making truly correct, beneficial transfers worthy of Beşiktaş."

"WE ARE ASKING FOR SUPPORT FROM THE PLAYERS WHO WILL LEAVE"

"Brad Friedel is continuing his work regarding the foreign players who will leave. We are also asking for support from the players whose departure is in question. We want to part ways by shaking hands and embracing. If we cannot achieve this, we will not be able to register the players we have."

Hüseyin Yücel's statements are as follows:

"CIRO MADE A SACRIFICE"

"We are having a very good training camp. It is said that we are having the most energetic and synergistic camp of recent years. We sat down for serious negotiations with Lazio for 48 hours. In the end, Ciro put an end to it and said he wanted to come to Beşiktaş by making a sacrifice."

"TIME TO PAUSE TRANSFERS TO REDUCE 19 FOREIGNERS TO 12"

"Now is the time to pause a little for transfers. Because we have reached 19 foreign players and we need to reduce this to 12. There is more than a month left until the end of the transfer window. No one should doubt it. We will continue to work on this path, no one should have any doubts."

"WE COULD NOT AGREE WITH HERMOSO, DI MARIA DID NOT WANT TO COME"

"Our primary goal was to have our core squad ready for the Slovenia camp. We achieved this. We were interested in some names, but unfortunately, the probability of these transfers happening is zero. Many reports came out regarding Hermoso, but the probability of it happening is zero. We increased the process we started at 2 million Euros up to 4 million Euros, but when he said he received an 8 million Euro offer from Saudi Arabian teams, we thanked him. We spoke with Di Maria, and he said he did not want to come. We don't want a player who doesn't want to come anyway."

"RESOURCES WILL BE FOUND SOMEHOW"

"In my opinion, there is no transfer that Beşiktaş cannot make. Resources will be found somehow. Just as other clubs found them in past years, now it is our turn. I will do the accounting when I return to Istanbul. There will be no problems."

GEDSON FERNANDES' TRANSFER TO ZENIT

"It is currently on hold. There is no concrete development. If there is, we will evaluate it."

Ciro Immobile said the following:

"I am very happy, I am opening a new page for my career. After Beşiktaş's offer, I made this decision that will change my whole life. I also want to thank everyone at Lazio. I want to do important things on and off the pitch this year. We will try to make our fans happy. I want to thank them for the interest and attention they have shown me. I will do my best for them."

"ICARDI, MERTENS, AND DZEKO ARE IMPORTANT PLAYERS"

"I want to be important for the team. I want to help the team as much as I can. Icardi, Mertens, and Dzeko are important players. There will be competition in this way. We are going to start an important season, but first, there is a match on August 3rd. We will prepare well for that match and the season."

"I WILL TRY TO CONTRIBUTE ACCORDING TO THE NEED"

"I spoke with our coach. We will talk more about where I will play according to the team's needs. I will try to contribute according to this need as much as I can. I will try to come a little deeper and find positions there. I already have teammates with whom I can do this. We will try to develop this further in training."

"I RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM SIRIGU, BONUCCI, AND MERTENS"

"The first thing that attracted me to Beşiktaş was how much they wanted me. Istanbul is a very beautiful city. People with large families like mine also make decisions based on the city. Before coming here, I received information from Sirigu, Bonucci, and Mertens."

"I WILL BE READY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

"I had to make a difficult decision. It was hard to leave a city that loves you. But football is like that. I have opened a new page. I will be ready as soon as possible, as much as I can."
