"Explosive confession from Brad Friedel about Semih Kılıçsoy"

Brad Friedel, who was dismissed from his position as a board advisor in Beşiktaş, made striking statements regarding the allegations and controversial issues surrounding him. Friedel also clarified the claim that he rejected a €24 million offer for Semih Kılıçsoy.

"NO OFFER CAME"

Friedel's statements are as follows;

• Why didn't Semih Kılıçsoy play for a while, did any offers come?

Ask Gio why Semih didn't play during that period. Secondly, Semih never received any offers. I really like him. We had a good relationship. I don't want to put too much pressure on Semih. He has a structure like Sergio Agüero. I believe he will be very good in the future.

"THERE WAS INTEREST ON THE LAST DAY OF THE TRANSFER"

Actually, on the last day of the transfer, there was interest from a club that was never announced to the press regarding Semih. They also needed to sell a player.

"I DISCUSSED WITH 4 CLUBS FOR SEMIH"

I had discussions with 4 clubs for Semih, and they said they were not interested. I can say that fans should pay attention to who they get their news from on social media."

ONE OF THE TEAMS IS ASTON VILLA

• Can you name the club?

I have acquaintances at Aston Villa, and I knew they were really interested. But financial fair play is really tough there. It wasn't a situation where something was offered to me and I rejected it. If Semih had the opportunity to leave Beşiktaş happily, the fans would wish him success. From my experience at Aston Villa, I can say it’s a fantastic club. I would be very happy if something like that happens in the future.
