Gedson Fernandes is back in the spotlight. After a failed transfer to Zenit last summer, the Russian club – along with Spartak Moscow – is once again eyeing the 26-year-old Portuguese midfielder. His impressive performance with Besiktas, scoring 11 goals in 47 games, has sparked renewed interest.
Besiktas’ Big Ask
The Turkish club is looking to cash in big time. According to Sports Digitale, a Turkish sports channel, Besiktas is waiting for an offer of around 30 million euros before letting Gedson go.
If this deal goes through, Benfica will be smiling all the way to the bank. The club retained half of Gedson’s sports rights when he moved to Turkey. This means Benfica would get 15 million euros if the sale happens.
Potential Suitors
Zenit and Spartak Moscow are not the only ones interested in Gedson. Other clubs might join the chase, driving up the price. Besiktas is in no hurry to sell, but the right offer could change their mind. With Gedson’s stock rising, his next move will be closely watched.
