Beşiktaş, who have been working tirelessly on the transfer market throughout the off-season, appear to have finally solved their long-standing centre-forward dilemma. The Black-and-Whites have reached a preliminary agreement with the star striker, and the marksman is already hurrying to Istanbul to put pen to paper on the long-awaited official contract.
The much-anticipated move in the Beşiktaş camp is truly in the home stretch: supporters who have been eagerly tracking the search for a new goal-getter have received breaking news. While the Black Eagle prepare to send Ciro Immobile to Bologna, the countdown to unveiling their new finisher is in full swing. Details follow below.
IMMOBILE ON THE WAY OUT
The Italian centre-forward, who joined the side last summer and finished the season with 19 goals, nevertheless failed to fully convince the coaching staff with his overall contribution to the team’s play. Having opened transfer talks with Bologna, the player himself demanded a salary increase from the Serie A club. Against this backdrop, the likelihood of Immobile’s return to his homeland has risen sharply, and the Istanbul club are now ready to let him go.
MIDNIGHT BOMBSHELL: ABRAHAM!
According to reputable insider Fabrizio Romano, Beşiktaş have reached an agreement with Roma to sign English striker Tammy Abraham for a transfer fee of €20 million! Having already officially added left-back David Jurasek from Benfica, the Black-and-Whites will make Abraham their second signing of the current window, significantly boosting the team’s attacking potential. On his Instagram account, Romano stressed that the Istanbul side are indeed prepared to pay the full amount, and negotiations have entered the final stage.
EN ROUTE TO ISTANBUL
The 27-year-old forward, who spent last season on loan at Milan, is expected in Turkey’s megacity within hours to undergo the mandatory medical and sign his contract. Abraham has 11 appearances and 3 goals for the England national team. A product of the Chelsea academy, he has already turned out for Bristol City, Swansea City, Aston Villa, Roma and Milan, steadily gaining valuable experience across different leagues and playing styles. Last season, featuring in 45 official matches, the English striker again proved his productivity by recording 10 goals and 7 assists, demonstrating that he can not only finish chances but also create them for his teammates.
