The Serie A adventure of Semih Kılıçsoy, who was loaned from Beşiktaş to Cagliari with an option to buy at the beginning of this season, is coming to an end after just one season. Cagliari President Tommaso Giulini stated in his announcement that it is not possible for the club to complete the transfer of the young star due to salary limitations.
Giulini stated, "Folorunsho, Semih Kılıçsoy, and Mazzitelli have high salaries. We are financially sustainable because we are able to limit the salary budget. Today, with full salaries, none of these three fit Cagliari's parameters."
Following this statement from Cagliari, it has been confirmed that the 20-year-old forward's 12 million Euro purchase option will not be exercised.
Semih Kılıçsoy appeared in 25 matches for Cagliari this season and found the back of the net 4 times. Sources close to the club indicate that the player is expected to be part of the Beşiktaş squad again next season.
