Besiktas negotiates with Atlético for Kalinic

The Turkish club intends to sign Nikola Kalinić, a player that Atlético de Madrid does not have for next season. Emre Kocadag, member of the board of directors of Besiktas, did not hide the negotiations both with the Croatian striker and with the Madrid club.

“We have to close the transfer of Kalinić or another forward who is at his level. We continue negotiating for Kalinić. Our goal is to reach a better agreement for our team. Papis Cisse is also on our list, but Kalinić is an option that we have more advanced”Expressed Kocadag.

As reported to AS, Besiktas has agreed almost all the contractual details with the Croatian international, but now it is necessary to reach an agreement with the rojiblancos, with whom they continue negotiating. The player has one year left on his contract and the Turkish team is optimistic about reaching an agreement.

On the other hand, Atlético's youth squad, Francisco Montero, will travel to Istanbul tomorrow afternoon where he will pass a medical examination and will join the team's preseason. Besiktas have a call option for the 21-year-old defender, although this clause is not mandatory, so it will depend on his performance in the Turkish Super League.
