Beşiktaş management, which has not been able to reinforce its squad since the opening of the winter transfer window, continues its transfer efforts. President Serdal Adalı stated that they worked for 20 hours as the board of directors and gave the message “Let our fans be comfortable”. Gabriel Paulista recently left the team due to family problems. While coach Sergen Yalçın demanded that players be recruited for defense, Brentford’s 1.98-meter defender Kristoffer Ajer was included in the transfer list.
RENTAL FORMULA
It was reported that Beşiktaş officials will make a rental offer with purchase option to the English Premier League club for the 27-year-old Norwegian player. Kristoffer Ajer’s strong physical structure and ability to play in several areas of the defense makes the transfer more attractive. It was learned that the British team may request a compulsory purchase clause for possible rental. The experienced football player’s contract with his club will last until 2028. However, Brentford has the option to extend the contract for 1 year.
375
While the Premier League team added Ajer to its squad in the summer of 2021, the Scottish representative paid a transfer fee of 15.7 million euros to Celtic. The current market value of the 1.98 cm defender is shown as 16 million euros. While Ajer played 375 matches throughout his career, he managed to contribute 25 goals and 20 assists in this period.
HIGH RUST QUALITY
The Norwegian player is successful in taking the ball out of defense because of his high passing quality. With the advantage of his height of 1.98 meters, he has a serious advantage over his opponents in aerial balls. Although his original position is centre-back, he can occasionally play at right and left back. Ajer’s handicap is that he can make mistakes when he lacks concentration under intense pressure from the opponent.
