Done Deal: Semih Kilicsoy to Cagliari from Besiktas for loan plus 12m option | OneFootball

According to Turkish reports, Cagliari have concluded the deal with Besiktas for striker Semih Kilicsoy, on loan for €1m with option to buy for €12m plus add-ons.

This follows the stories in the Italian media suggesting that they were very close to an agreement for the loan with option to buy for €14m.

More details are emerging and Medya Siyah Beyaz maintain the deal is done, with only the signature and medical tests now required to finalise the transfer.

They claim it is a €1m fee for the loan, with a non-obligatory option to make it permanent for a further €12m.

There are also an additional €2m in bonuses, plus giving Besiktas a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee if he leaves Sardinia.

It would be quite the coup for Cagliari, as Kilicsoy is a very impressive young talent who will turn 20 next month.

He plays as a centre-forward, but can also play in wider roles, and has five senior caps for the Turkish national team.

At Under-21 level, the product of the Besiktas youth academy scored five goals in just six games for his country.

There had also been interest from Leeds United, Aston Villa and Utretcht, but Cagliari managed to snap up Kilicsoy.
