The complications that arose in the transfer of Gedson Fernandes, who was rumored to be moving to Zenit alongside Zaynutdinov for a fee of 20 million euros right at the start of the transfer window, have paid off for Beşiktaş in terms of performance.
The star player was forced to play in the number 6 position for much of the disappointing 2023-2024 season, resulting in limited scoring contributions.
This season, Gedson Fernandes has stood out with his scoring contributions at Beşiktaş, which has strengthened its attacking line with Rafa Silva, Semih Kılıçsoy, and Ciro İmmobile.
He has provided 6 goal contributions in 6 matches, with 1 goal in 3 Süper Lig matches, 3 goals and 1 assist in 2 UEFA Europa League qualifying matches, and 1 assist in the Super Cup.
Gedson, who transferred from Benfica in 2022 for 6 million euros, is under contract until 2027.
