As anticipated, promising Turkish footballer Semih Kilicsoy has landed in Italy to undergo a medical examination with Cagliari, aiming to finalize his €14 million transfer from Besiktas.
Previous reports were confirmed: the player had awaited participation in last night`s Champions League preliminary round match against Shakhtar Donetsk. Following the game, he received clearance to travel and arrived on Italian soil this evening.
Kilicsoy: A Promising Acquisition for Cagliari
The deal is structured as an initial €1 million loan, with an option to make the move permanent for an additional €12 million, plus up to €2 million in potential add-ons. Besiktas is also expected to retain a 20 percent sell-on clause for any future transfer fee.
This represents a significant move for Cagliari, as Kilicsoy is widely regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in Turkish football.
Turning 20 in just a couple of weeks, he is capable of playing both as a central striker and in wider attacking roles. The talented teenager boasts an impressive record of five goals in six appearances for Turkey`s Under-21 squad and has already earned four caps for the senior national team.
