What happened in Turkish football today? 19/07/2023

Basaksehirspor signs Kristozs Piatek.

One of the most eye-catching transfers which took place in Turkey in past days has been Basaksehirspors signing experienced player Kristosz Piatek who is also very likely would turn into star player of the team in upcoming season.

With top 4 clubs signing top attackers, Basaksehirspor which always has been set an eye into top parts in the table did need to respond accordingly without forgetting its finances and Piatek seemed to be best option and it has managed to convince player as he would be expected to fulfill all expectations and provide high number of goals in upcoming season. Basaksehirspor in relatively been quiet during this summer transfer window but it does need some strengths and similar names to Piatek could be coming up. 

Hence as been noted, Basaksehirspor needs to sign more players and we would follow all developments in the team

Fenerbahce has made deal with Becao.

Fenerbahce has eventually managed to make transfer deal with Udinese player Rodrigo Becao as it been working on him since start of the summer transfer window and has strenghened its defence.

Becao is mainly known of providing physical game with providing harsh game at defensive line which could be suitable for Super League level and also provide some strength to defensive game which been lacking in similar years and possibly been one of the reasons why side did lose titles in recent weeks. Hence, Becao is being player who is could solve those issues if he does show right respons on the field without doubt as sides are having final talks in Istanbul.

Without doubt, with signing Djiku earlier Fenerbahce has signficantly strenghened its defence for upcoming season.

Kasimpasa signs Claudio Wincks

Kasimpasa has signed Claudio Wincks as it strengthened its attacking position as player did come with playing previously at Maritimo and hence does have experience at top league.

Kasimpasa didnt have very good performance in previous season and as club which does aim for top half of the table, it would like to have successful summer transfer window and it did manage to sign some few but good players with Claudio Wincks could be counted to this number. Even through not much in known from players, he is being with high potential and could provide some key performance in team like Kasimpasa and hence potentially could be effective transfer.

Kasimpasa would likely to look for some players in this summer transfer window and we would follow all latest developments.
