News Summary

News Details

Throughout the transfer window in the Süper Lig, Ümit Akdağ was one of the names in constant contact with the big three. It was widely rumored that all three Istanbul giants were interested in the 22-year-old centre-back, whose value increased particularly under the 10+4 foreign player rule. However, with only hours remaining until the submission of squad lists for European competitions, Beşiktaş became the side to reach an agreement with Alanyaspor for the Romanian-born Turkish player.

Continuing their transfer efforts—most notably for Nikolas Raskin—with hours left before submitting squad lists to Europe, Beşiktaş quietly completed the deal for Ümit Akdağ.

According to Ertan Süzgün's report, for the young defender with domestic status who had long been on the radar of the other two teams as well, the Black-and-Whites reached an agreement with both the player and his club, Alanyaspor.
