Deniz Gul could leave FC Porto for a move to Besiktas | OneFootball

Deniz Gul may leave FC Porto during this summer transfer window. The Turkish forward, currently the third choice for the attack, behind Luuk de Jong and Samu Aghehowa, is attracting interest from Besiktas, according to the Turkish portal Sports Digitale.

The 21-year-old player, signed last season from Hammarby, has reportedly informed the Porto administration, led by André Villas-Boas, of his intention to return to Turkey to represent the Istanbul emblem. So far, no formal proposal has arrived at the Dragon, but contacts between the clubs and the footballer's representative are expected to begin in the coming days.

Last season, Deniz Gul scored two goals in 24 matches for the FC Porto first team, and one more for the B team. This season, he has not yet been used by Francesco Farioli.

Besiktas, where Portuguese players João Mário and Rafa Silva already play, is looking to strengthen its offensive sector and has already sounded out the player, who was also linked to Galatasaray. The Turkish club has been investing in the Portuguese market and this summer secured David Jurásek and Orkun Kokçu, both on loan from Benfica.

The potential departure of Deniz Gul is part of the process of reducing the Porto squad. In recent days, André Franco was loaned to Chicago Fire and Iván Jaime is preparing to head to CF Montreal, both in Major League Soccer.
