Portuguese Press Hints at Rafa Silva's Besiktas Winter Exit

Reports emanating from the Portuguese press suggest that star player Rafa Silva could be on the verge of departing Besiktas during the upcoming winter transfer window. The claims, widely circulated in Portugal, indicate a potential free transfer for the attacking midfielder, raising questions about his future with the Istanbul giants.

NTV Spor, citing Portuguese newspaper Record's director Sérgio Krithinas, highlighted the bold assertion regarding Silva's situation. Krithinas reportedly stated that the Portuguese international could leave the Black Eagles without a transfer fee midway through the current season. Aspor further corroborated these claims, emphasizing the growing speculation surrounding Silva's imminent departure.

While no official confirmation has been made by Besiktas or Rafa Silva himself, Krithinas's comments, including a notable remark that Silva will 'win this battle' in securing his move, add significant weight to the rumours. The prospect of a key player leaving on a free transfer during the January window would undoubtedly be a major development for Besiktas, prompting close monitoring of the situation as the transfer period approaches.
