Ghana defender Daniel Amartey has been transfer listed by Turkish club Besiktas, just a year after joining the team from Leicester City.
The 29-year-old is among nine players who could leave the club this summer as Besiktas look to revamp their squad to better compete for titles.
Amartey had limited game time last season, featuring only 18 times as Besiktas finished sixth, 46 points behind champions Galatasaray. Despite having two years left on his contract, the former Leicester City player has fallen out of favour and did not appear in the season’s final matches.
The likes of Vincent Aboubakar, Jean Onana, Valentin Rosier, Omar Colley, Javi Montero, Arthur Masuaku, Ersin DestanoÄŸlu, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Ante Rebic are also set to be sold as Besiktas look to rebuild their squad.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Amartey’s future, Besiktas will take heart from their Turkish Cup victory, which ensures they will participate in the Europa League qualifiers next season.
Before joining Besiktas, Amartey spent seven years at Leicester City, where he won the Premier League and FA Cup, making over 100 appearances. Prior to his time in England, he played for Djurgardens IF and won the Danish Superliga and Cup with Copenhagen.
