Deniz Gul could leave FC Porto for a move to Besiktas | OneFootball

Deniz Gul may leave FC Porto during this summer market. The Turkish forward, currently the third option for the attack, behind Luuk de Jong and Samu Aghehowa, is arousing the interest of Besiktas, as reported by the Turkish portal Sports Digitale.

The 21-year-old player, hired last season from Hammarby, has communicated to the portista SAD, led by André Villas-Boas, his intention to return to Turkey to represent the Istanbul emblem. So far, no formal proposal has arrived at Dragão, but contacts between the clubs and the player's representative are expected to start in the coming days.

In the last season, Deniz Gul scored two goals in 24 games for FC Porto's main team, adding one more for the B team. This season, he has not been used by Francesco Farioli yet.

Besiktas, where the Portuguese João Mário and Rafa Silva already play, is looking to strengthen the offensive sector and has already sounded out the player, who has also been linked to Galatasaray. The Turkish club has been investing in the Portuguese market and has secured David Jurásek and Orkun Kokçu this summer, both on loan from Benfica.

The possible departure of Deniz Gul is part of the process of reducing the portista squad. In recent days, André Franco has been loaned to Chicago Fire and Iván Jaime is preparing to move to CF Montreal, both present in Major League Soccer.
