Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı explained the current situation at the black and white club during the introduction meeting of new transfers Keny Arroyo and Elan Ricardo and answered questions.
"NOT A SINGLE COIN WILL COME OUT OF BEŞİKTAŞ' CASINO"
Serdal Adalı's statements are as follows;
Not a single coin will come out of Beşiktaş' casino for the two transfers we made. I thank the valuable business people for their support for these transfers.
"WE HAVE APPLIED TO THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE"
There are exorbitant prices for stadium lighting and the renewal of the roof membrane. It was done without a tender. Moreover, the CEO was not even informed. We applied to the prosecutor's office this morning. We have detected some unauthorized purchases. We made our application to the prosecutor's office this morning. These are not suitable for Beşiktaş. There is a historical loss in infrastructure and amateur branches! There are extraordinary issues in volleyball and handball. The loss in handball has increased from 10 million TL to 88 million TL. The loss in volleyball has increased from 3 million TL to 100 million TL. The performance of the teams has not changed. The loss in the infrastructure has reached 710 million TL from 104 million TL. We will not let go of these matters. We will account for every penny. We will also account for every penny we spend. The debt has been increased from 8 billion TL to 15 billion TL. Since we came, we have covered all payments from our own pockets, and it will continue like this for a while. There is a payment of 45 million € from May to December.
"WE ARE 2-3 YEARS BEHIND OUR RIVALS"
Real estate projects are needed for the financial structure. Here, we are 2-3 years behind our rivals. We will present the new version of our first project to the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. We have also applied for four plots of land, hopefully, we will receive positive results.
"ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE A CANDIDATE SHOULD DECLARE IT"
"There is no possibility of improving the situation in five months. The issue of elections being on the agenda every six months does not suit Beşiktaş. We have seen three different presidents in 13 months. These uncertainties have ended, and the period of action has begun. If anyone wants to be a candidate, they should come out openly and say it. Do not try to drag Beşiktaş into chaos behind closed doors and on social media. Do not expect the team to fail, do not wait behind closed doors! Do not misunderstand me, I am not afraid of elections. We will do what we know.
"I DO NOT SAY 'BRING IT ON'
I do not make statements like 'bring it on' to those who want to be candidates. I am not afraid of elections in any way, but Beşiktaş does not have the capacity to handle an election environment. No one needs to expect the football team to perform poorly; they can come out and say 'I am a candidate.'
"WE HAVE REMOVED THE CLAUSE IN MASUAKU'S CONTRACT"
We have mutually removed the extension clause in the contract with Arthur Masuaku based on good faith. We are very pleased with the rising form of our player. I thank him.
"WE WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY TRANSFERS IN THE SUMMER PERIOD"
You received criticism for not making a striker transfer. What is your comment?
You know our foreign player count. Additionally, we have Mustafa and Semih. I believe they will cover our striker gap this year. We already have no chance of acquiring from the number. We focused heavily on left-back, we made attempts, but it was not meant to be. It is not possible to make pinpoint transfers in the mid-season; we want to go without mistakes. I do not find it right to make transfers based on fan and social media criticism, and I do not plan to do so. There are findings from our scout team and our coach. We will make the necessary transfers in the summer period.
"THERE ARE 3 HIGH-COST PLAYERS"
If you look at the contracts of some players, no one wants to leave Beşiktaş. We will work together to find a common path. We have valuable players. Their salaries may be high, but we have three star players with very high costs. We want them to be more beneficial. I cannot predict who will receive offers at the end of the season... I cannot foresee that now. There has been a problem with Jean Onana for years; we solved it. Cher Ndour had no option, and we brought in our own player instead.
"TURKEY CUP, NO OTHER GOAL"
I am very confident; we will win both the Turkey Cup and rise in the league. We are not a bad team. There is no other goal this year anyway. Hopefully, we will achieve these two goals.
NEW CONTRACT FOR GEDSON AND NECİP
We will not sell Gedson. We want to extend his contract. We are negotiating with Benfica for his full transfer. We will extend the contract with Necip Uysal. I was the one who made his first contract. His last contract was also granted to me."
