As with Saudi Arabia, the transfer window is not yet over in Türkiye. The Super League will see its transfer market closed on September 15, enough to sign a few names. Besiktas have announced the arrival of 29-year-old centre-back Eric Bailly. The third of the last championship did not specify the duration of the contract or the amount of the transfer of the Ivorian international (46 selections).

Arrived in Manchester from Villarreal in the summer of 2016, the 29-year-old had gradually slipped into the hierarchy of Mancunian defenders, after a first full season (38 appearances). Loaned last season to OM with an option to buy, the central defender has seen his season ruined by several injuries.
