Besiktas want to get the loan of Nikola Kalinic

Nikola Kalinic (32 years old) has an uncertain future at Atlético. The Croatian arrived at the rojiblanco team in the summer of 2018 from Milan for 15 million euros to reinforce the lead. However, he could not meet the expectations he had generated and in the only season that he was under Simeone's orders. played 1090 'spread over 24 games among all the competitions in which scored four goals and gave an assist. Relegated to being the last option for his technician at the top of the attack, he decided to go out in search of minutes.

Several teams were interested in taking over his services, including Lazio or Monaco, but his final destination was Rome. The ‘giallorosso’ achieved their loan for this season in exchange for two million euros, in addition to getting a purchase option for nine. This campaign in the Italian capital has had little prominence, since only has played 15 games in total, scoring five goals and giving two goal passes. This led us to suppose that the Romans would not want to stay with him, but his good performance in the return of Serie A after the stoppage due to the coronavirus (he scored three goals) has made them doubt about whether or not to exercise the definitive purchase of your file.

While awaiting his decision, there are several teams that want to incorporate Kalinic for the next season. The last to appear is the Besiktas, which according to various Turkish media, wants to negotiate with Atlético the arrival of the Croatian. A priori, his intention would be to obtain his loan for this season. It is not the first time that Kalinic has been associated with an Ottoman club, since previously it was Fenerbahce that had him on their agenda, although finally he could not fulfill his wish to sign him. However, His contract with the Madrid club ends on June 30, 2021, so it enters its last year of relationship with the entity. It seems difficult for the colchoneros to agree to let Kalinic out on loan, since They could not recoup part of their investment and would go free next summer.
