Abraham out, Ozcan in

Earlier this season, Besiktas brought in Tammy Abraham on loan from Roma, with an option to make the move permanent. That option was recently activated, with the club paying €13 million to secure the English striker full-time. Abraham has been a key figure for Besiktas this season, scoring 13 goals and providing three assists in 26 appearances.

With Abraham now returning to Aston Villa, the Premier League side reportedly offered €21 million, along with the inclusion of young midfielder Yasin Ozcan, as part of the deal.

Nineteen-year-old Ozcan, joined Aston Villa from Kasımpasa for €7 million in early months of 2025 and spent the this season on loan at Anderlecht in Belgium.
