The football world is buzzing with talk about Gedson Fernandes. The 26-year-old midfielder is now linked with a move to Nottingham Forest. This English club is led by manager Nuno Espírito Santo. It seems Besiktas, his current club, values him around 25 million euros.
Gedson has a contract with Besiktas until 2027. But his future might be changing soon. He had a really strong season, playing in 49 games and starting 48 of them. He even scored 12 goals. That kind of performance always turns heads.
However, a new player arriving at Besiktas could shake things up for Gedson. The club just signed Kökçü, who is their most expensive player ever. This big new signing might mean less time on the field for Gedson. This often happens in football; one player’s arrival can lead to another’s exit.
Back in Portugal, a former club is watching closely. Benfica kept 50% of Gedson Fernandes’s transfer rights when he left. This means if he moves, Benfica gets half of whatever Besiktas sells him for. Imagine getting 12.5 million euros from a player you sold years ago – that’s quite a bonus.
So, while Nottingham Forest eyes a new midfielder, Benfica is quietly hoping for a significant payout. It’s a classic story of how player transfers can keep giving back to old clubs. Gedson’s next move isn’t just about his career; it’s a big deal for Benfica’s finances too.
