Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı stated that the transfers they wanted to make during the winter break did not happen due to their elimination from Europe after the Twente match. Adalı said, "Ansu Fati from Barcelona was on our agenda. There was Patrick Berg, and there was Samuel Dahl. After the Twente match, I wanted to go to Barcelona and finalize the transfer, but it didn't happen. That evening, on the day we were eliminated, they said 'Fati is not happening.'"

Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı made striking statements regarding transfers in his remarks to TRT Spor. He stated that they were about to finalize the transfer of three football players during the mid-season, but their farewell to European cups hindered this operation. Adalı also responded to transfer rumors regarding Patrick Berg, Alexander Sörloth, and Rafa Silva.

"OUR ELIMINATION FROM EUROPE RUINED THE FATİ TRANSFER"

Adalı, regarding Ansu Fati, who excited the black-and-white fans with his name coming up, said, "Ansu Fati from Barcelona was on our agenda. There was Patrick Berg, and there was Samuel Dahl. After the Twente match, I wanted to go to Barcelona and finalize the transfer, but it didn't happen. The evening of the day we were eliminated, they said 'Fati is not happening.' The kid was very eager, and his father was consulted. Our transfers during the mid-season were disrupted by our elimination from Europe after the Twente match," he stated.

"WE WANT BERG, NO OFFER FOR RAFA"

Serdal Adalı stated, "We want Berg. The coach wants him, and I want him too. Our planning is going very well. We will discuss squad planning on the 30th. There is no offer for Rafa Silva. There are offers for Semih and Mustafa, but I don't want to let them go," he said.

"SÖRLOTH IS NOT AN OPTION"

Speaking about Alexander Sörloth, who has been performing wonders in the Super League with Trabzonspor and is currently playing for the Spanish giant Atletico Madrid, the president of the black-and-whites said, "Sörloth is not an option. The guy has no alternative. Do you think I haven't talked? For now, it's not happening. They are all our friends. When you call and say, 'Give me this,' they respond, 'Are we going to play without a striker?' We will get a striker. We will get a forward, a left winger, and a number 6," he explained.
