  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Tiknaz, who is currently on loan at Rio Ave from Besiktas, has caught the eye in Portugal, convincing Rio Ave to trigger what now looks like a bargain release clause. It's been claimed the club's strategy could be to sign the promising youngster and then sell him to a top club in Europe's top five leagues.

    The 19-year-old has reportedly drawn attention from elite teams in Germany, and Italy, with one Bundesliga and one Serie A club making serious enquiries. Rio Ave are said to want to sell the midfielder on for double the amount.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Tiknaz has had a breakthrough season in Portugal, contributing two goals and two assists along with a host of eye-catching displays. His performances have wowed not just those at Rio Ave, but also European scouts. Though he left Istanbul with little fanfare, he now appears poised to become one of the most valuable young exports in Besiktas history.

  • WHAT FABRIZIO ROMANO SAID

    Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported on the deal, writing on X: "Demir Ege Tıknaz will be signed by Rio Ave for €5m clause and then sold again, as Serdal Adalı revealed. Portuguese top clubs and also one Bundesliga, one Serie A sides asked about Tiknaz after his performances."

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    At 6ft 4in, Tiknaz's physical presence has made him a highly sought-after talent across Europe, as he combines technical ability with height and strength. His move to Rio Ave will put him in Besiktas' top 10 record sales next to the likes of Cenk Tosun, Demba Ba, and John Carew.
