Beşiktaş reach agreement with Hamburger’s Tolgay Arslan

Hamburger SV's Turkish midfielder Tolgay Arslan, who has been negotiating with Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor for two weeks, has agreed to Beşiktaş's offer. With the efforts of Beşiktaş administrator Erdal Torunoğulları, who will oversee the transfer, Arslan said yes to Beşiktaş. The club negotiated with Arslan for a three-and-a-half year agreement. Beşiktaş is expected to pay a transfer fee of 500,000 euros to Hamburger SV for the 25-year-old midfielder. Trabzonspor previously said the club would pay double Beşiktaş's offer to Hamburger SV and Arslan's father.

Furthermore, Trabzonspor President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, and Coach Ersun Yanal visited Arslan in Hamburg. Following their talk, rumors claimed that Arslan made an agreement with Trabzonspor. Later, Beşiktaş took another step; administrators Ahmet Nur Çebi and Torunoğulları discussed the transfer with Arslan once again. Arslan's father said, "Yes, we talked with Trabzonspor, but have not reach an agreement." Upon the statement, Trabzonspor surprisingly announced that the club officially cancelled negotiations with Arslan.
