Besiktas has committed El Bilal Touré (23) from Atalanta loan. The center forward, who was under contract with VfB Stuttgart last season, costs a rental fee of 3 million euros – part of the deal is a purchase option that amounts to around 17 million euros.
This means that the Istanbul club has completely reorganized in the storm center: on Ciro Immobile (35) and home -grown Semih Kılıçsoy (19), EL Bilal and Tammy Abraham (27) follow. Like El Bilal, the latter has a market value of 15 million euros and a mixed year. While the Englishman did not get borrowed from Milan, the Malier missed the majority of the season at VfB due to a breakdown at VfB.
El Bilal’s market value dropped by 5 million euros during this time – in 2023 Atalanta, where he was under contract by 2027, paid 30.2 million euros to UD Almería for him. Since this transfer, he had only been directly involved in Atalanta and VfB in 34 short missions in just eight goals.
Besiktas has been El Bilal’s fourth club since 2023 and the next chance to call up his potential. In the eagle squad he is behind record purchasing in Spe Orkun Kökçü, which is rated at 30 million euros, together with Abraham and 8 million newcomer Wilfred Ndidi (28). The four most valuable professionals in the club are among the nine new additions of this summer.
