Some countries are still in their final days of the transfer window, Turkey is one of them, with the market only closing this Friday (12). Thus, the country's main clubs made their final bids for signings.

One of the targets of traditional Besiktas was São Paulo's striker Ferreirinha. Initially, the Turkish press reported that "agents offered the 27-year-old right-footed left winger" to the club, which was evaluating the Tricolor player for a possible signing.

São Paulo denies the 'offer', but indeed received inquiries and had contact with Besiktas, who was seeking to know the business conditions for Ferreira, and initially suggested a loan proposal for the player, according to information first published by ESPN.

However, with the attack sector being the most needy at the moment, the Morumbi club vetoed any start of negotiation due to the importance of the name and said it would not sell its player at the moment, much less on loan. Thus, Besiktas changed targets and signed Portuguese striker Jota Silva, loaned by English Nottingham Forest.

But, the Turks' interest in the skillful Tricolor winger has not ended. They signaled to the Tricolor board that they should make a new bid for the number 11 shirt in the next transfer window, in January 2026. Depending on the state of São Paulo's finances, if a good offer arrives, or even not so good, we already know the outcome...

Since the beginning of 2024 at Tricolor, after a long saga for his signing, Ferreirinha has a contract signed until December 2027. So far, he has played 86 matches, with 15 goals and four assists.

This year, in which he received the number 11 shirt, has been a consolidation for the striker, who has already played 35 times, with seven goals scored and two assists given.
