Deniz Gul wants Besiktas move, has already told FC Porto

FC Porto is taking advantage of the final phase of the summer transfer market to carry out a real 'clean-up' of the main squad, led by Italian coach Francesco Farioli, and the next one to leave could be Deniz Gul.

According to the Turkish newspaper Star, cited this Saturday, the 21-year-old forward has already communicated to the management led by André Villas-Boas his desire to join Besiktas, so both clubs are now looking for an agreement to make the operation possible.

A loan to Vodafone Arena is being discussed, although there are still no agreed terms for a potential agreement.

Deniz Gul arrived at FC Porto about a year ago, coming from Hammarby, for an amount of around 4.5 million euros, with potential additions that could increase the value to five million depending on sports objectives.

The Turkish international landed at the Dragão with high expectations due to his recognized potential, but he did not assert himself: in his first season in Portugal, he scored only two goals in 23 official games.

With the arrival of Francesco Farioli, who replaced Martín Anselmi, the situation remained unchanged, and he has not registered any minutes in the first two wins of the season (victories over Vitória SC, 3-0, and Gil Vicente, 0-2).

De Jong further complicates the situation

Last season, Deniz Gul already occupied a secondary position, largely due to the 'explosive' performance of Samu Aghehowa (27 goals and three assists in 45 official games), and this season the competition has intensified.

Farioli asked the management for an alternative with established credentials for the Spanish international, and the response was the signing of Luuk de Jong at no cost, after the end of his contract with PSV.

The Dutch international is currently in 'pole position' to take over as a starter in the attack, also benefiting from the absence due to a muscle injury of a colleague, who will be out for about four weeks.
