Beşiktaş Football Club is planning a significant change to its squad following a season that fell short of its Süper Lig championship goal. While some names are expected to leave the team, two players transferred at the beginning of the season have also failed to find a place in the club's plans.
The management has decided not to exercise the option for Cengiz Ünder, whom they loaned from Fenerbahçe last summer. The 28-year-old right-winger recorded 5 goals and 4 assists in 28 official matches for Beşiktaş this season. Having spent a total of 1121 minutes on the pitch, Cengiz Ünder is expected to bid farewell to the black-and-white team at the end of the season.
Another name on the list expected to depart is Jota Silva. The Portuguese footballer was loaned from Nottingham Forest with a 17 million Euro purchase option, but it has been reported that the club will not pay this fee. The 26-year-old attacking player wore the Beşiktaş jersey in 20 matches this season, stayed on the pitch for 539 minutes, and found the back of the net 4 times.
