Beşiktaş's center-back move: Hasan Arat steps in for transfer

Accelerating its transfer efforts ahead of the new season and having signed Gabriel Paulista, Rafa Silva, and Ciro Immobile so far, Beşiktaş's current agenda is the transfer of a center-back. 

The Black and White club has sat down at the negotiating table with the Black Sea club for Çaykur Rizespor's center-back Emirhan Topçu.

According to a report by Sabah Gazetesi, Beşiktaş, which wants to make a transfer for the center-back position, is conducting negotiations with the 23-year-old player's club at the highest level. It was learned that significant progress has been made in the transfer fee negotiations, which are being managed personally by president Hasan Arat.

It was stated that the young player, who has 1 year left on his contract with the Black Sea team, is also very keen on joining Beşiktaş. It was noted that Emirhan, who is currently in camp with his team in Slovenia, is waiting for news. 

The successful player, who played in 32 matches for Rize last season and remained on the pitch for 2793 minutes, also contributed to his team in attack by scoring 1 goal and providing 4 assists.
