Turkish club to bid for Ferreirinha as window closes | OneFootball

The transfer window of the main European leagues is nearing its final moments, and São Paulo might receive a proposal at the last minute from the Old Continent's market.

As revealed by the portal ‘UOL‘ and confirmed by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Besiktas from Turkey has expressed through agents their desire to acquire Ferreirinha's football skills.

No official proposal had reached Morumbi by the time this report was published, but the inquiry made by the Turks is around 6 million euros (approximately R$ 37.2 million).

According to the site, Trabzonspor, from the same country, also showed interest in the winger, but without signaling a proposal, unlike their rival.

The Turkish interest in Ferreirinha is not new. Since the last window in June of last year, the name of the number 11 has been pointed out as a target by teams from that country. But nothing official has arrived since then.

Ferreirinha was signed by São Paulo at the beginning of 2024 and has a contract with São Paulo until the end of next year. To secure his football, the Morumbi club paid about R$ 8 million for approximately 35% of the rights to Grêmio.

Since his arrival, the winger has never established himself as an absolute starter, partly due to poor form, partly hindered by injuries, and partly removed by the tactical scheme. In Hernán Crespo's usual 3-5-2, for example, he was even improvised as a left wing-back to appear in the starting 11.

The inconsistency ended up placing his name in some speculations in the Brazilian market in the last windows. Botafogo, which competed with São Paulo for his signing from Grêmio, was one of those who inquired about his situation last year, but nothing progressed.

The window in Turkey closes next Friday (6), which would require some urgency from Besiktas to finalize the deal. However, as AMT has learned, the fact that Tricolor holds a low percentage of the rights might allow the rumored value to be better 'bargained'.
