Out-of-favour Besiktas defender Ibrahim Toraman has issued a come-and-get-me plea to his club’s fiercest rivals.

 

Ibrahim is currently transfer listed by the Black Eagles following a bust-up with club captain Ibrahim Uzulmez. 

 

The two were fined a record 100,000YTL each (£40,000, €50,000, $80,000) and declared surplus to requirements. 

 

Whilst Uzulmez is allowed to leave on a free transfer, the siyahbeyazlilar have slapped a €4.5million price tag on Toraman which is deterring interest. 

 

Earlier in the week a newspaper article on one of the Turkish daily’s claimed the 26-year-old would refuse any approach made from Fenerbahce or Galatasaray as he is 'Besiktas through-and-through'.   

 

The player himself has rubbished these reports and confirmed, “I am a professional and would play for either club. I have let my agent know that he is free to speak to Fenerbahce or Galatasaray should they be interested in signing me.”

 

Ibrahim Toraman joined Besiktas from Gaziantepspor in 2004 and has since seen his popularity grow amongst the Inonu faithful.  Many are still coming to terms with the defender's exit, but if he were to leave for an Istanbul rival their misery would double.

 

Your view:

Should Fenerbahce bid for Ibrahim Toraman?  Would he provide good defensive cover?

avatar It would be rubbing salt in BJKs wounds, but...

Toroman would be 3/4th choice at FB, and the same at GS. So certainly this isn't a situation where the money might be well spent to keep Toroman away from FB's rivals...

But I also think Toroman is the kind of CB that isnt on the roster at FB and could be used to provide a different look and save a foreigner spot for some matches.

If it makes sense financially, sign him I say!

avatar Besiktas last seaseon had three people named Ibrahim on their team. They now have none! Ibrahim Kas went to Getafe and now we have these two wating for transfers. I know this is useless knowledge but it's funny

avatar If he were to come he would be there to add depth, I kinda fell sorry for him with the way his career is spanning out.

avatar Hey Rokkafellah they had Ibrahim Akin at the start of last season too. All they were missing was Ibrahim Tatlises

avatar Yeah Jemster you're right. Akin was there too and he went IBBSpor! Tatlises could be a good signing, you know!
