Turkish club Besiktas is reportedly close to finalizing significant transfer deals for two prominent Serie A players. The club is set to acquire El Bilal Touré, an Atalanta striker, on a loan agreement that includes an option to buy. Additionally, Besiktas is expected to bring in Tiago Djaló, a defender from Juventus. These key acquisitions are anticipated to be completed within the next few hours, significantly bolstering the Turkish side`s squad.
Touré and Djaló Set to Join Besiktas
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Besiktas has successfully reached a loan agreement with Atalanta for El Bilal Touré, with the deal incorporating a purchase option. Romano further indicated that negotiations for Juventus` Tiago Djaló are also in an advanced stage, suggesting his move to Besiktas is imminent.
Djaló Not Part of Juventus Plans
Both Touré and Djaló recently concluded their respective loan periods during the 2024-25 season. Touré had a spell with Bundesliga club Stuttgart, where he managed to score three goals in 17 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Djaló spent his loan term playing for Porto FC.
It is widely acknowledged that the Portuguese center-back, Djaló, does not feature in Igor Tudor’s strategic plans at Juventus, a sentiment reportedly solidified after a less-than-convincing pre-season performance.
