''RAFA SILVA MAY LEAVE THE TEAM''
Sergen Yalçın announced that Portuguese player Rafa Silva, who has not participated in matches with the team for a long time, may leave the team, stating, "Only Paulista left for family reasons. We were not considering the others in our planning. There are a few more players who will leave us. There is the situation of Rafa Silva, he may also leave the team."
SEASON PERFORMANCE
The 32-year-old Portuguese player, who has played in 16 matches this season under the Beşiktaş jersey, scored 5 goals and made 3 assists.
STATEMENT ON MERT GÜNOK AND NECİP UYSAL
Yalçın also spoke about the departure of Necip Uysal and Mert Günok, saying, "I made the decision. We had to part ways with Necip and Mert. It was not me but Serkan Reçber who spoke with Necip. We asked Necip some things and left the situation to his control. He also said something like 'I want to play,' but we are not considering him in our squad planning. We have played football for years. There comes a time when you have to stop playing football. Necip also needs to be in another position now. He has reached that position in terms of age. Thinking unilaterally and speaking unilaterally, like 'I tried to reach out but couldn't,' his statements saddened me a lot. We said you can have a farewell here, or you can go to another club. He said he wanted to play. We said we do not consider him in our squad."
