    Eneramo gets N100m pay off from Besiktas

    Turkish Super League club Besiktas has terminated the contract of former Super Eagles striker, Michael Eneramo.

    For agreeing to leave the Turkish giants 10 months before the end of his contract, the ex-Esperance of Tunisia captain will be paid 500,000 Euros by Besiktas, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

    Enaramo has since moved to another Super Lig team, Istanbul Başakşehirspor, on a free transfer.

    Excluding performance related variables, he will take home €500,000 every year at Istanbul Başakşehirspor.

    Eneramo appeared four times for the Black Eagles in the Turkish topflight, scoring one goal.

  • Besiktas want Moses

    Besiktas want Moses

    Besiktas are in the market for a new striker and have beamed their searchlight on Nigeria international Victor Moses.

    According to respected Turkish daily, Haberturk, Besiktas hope to close a deal for the winger cum attacker in the coming weeks.

    Moses’ priority is to remain in the Premier League and fight for a first team shirt at Chelsea or be snapped up by another team in the Premier League where he’s guaranteed regular football.

    But the leadership of the Black Eagles have given  Emmanuel Emenike a mandate, which is to convince his Super Eagles colleague and strike partner to join him in Turkey.

    Besiktas power brokers have promised to match and even surpass the 3.1 million Euros he currently earns at Chelsea.

    Ex Wigan manager, Roberto Martinez, now coach of Everton is also interested in renewing ties with one of his favourite students, Victor Moses.

    Musa Mohammed joins Besiktas

    According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, Nigeria Under-17 skipper Musa Mohammed will travel to Istanbul this week to formalise his switch to Super League campaigners Besiktas.

    The right back displayed his wares at the 2013 FIFA Under 17 World Cup staged in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

    Though Musa Mohammed did not win any individual award, Besiktas chiefs were impressed with the modern day full back and his leadership skills. The likes of Udinese and Monaco had been on the trail of the FC Heart Academy, Kano youngster.

    However, Besiktas have pulled off one of the major transfer coups of the winter transfer market by luring him to Istanbul.

    Musa Mohammed has been offered a multi – year contract by BJK. The only missing detail – his signature – and that should be settled in the coming days.

    Nigeria international left back, Elderson Echiejile, has denied that he has joined Turkish Super League side Besiktas.

    “It’s not true that I have signed for Besiktas. There was no agreement between Braga and Besiktas. I am still a player of Braga,” MTNFootball.com quoted the defender, whose contract at Braga expires in June 2014, as saying on his official website – www.elderson3.com

    Echiejile also denied the transfer on his twitter handle @eldersonech, insisting he is focused on Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Malawi in Calabar.

    “Please disregard any report that I have signed for besiktas. I’m still a player of sporting braga,” he tweeted.

    “Everything abt a transfer is behind me as I’m focused on Saturday’s match vs Malawi.”

    Interestingly, Besiktas on Thursday unveiled Corinthians of Brazil left back Ramon Motta on a season-long loan deal.

     

  • Eneramo in winning start with Besiktas

    Eneramo in winning start with Besiktas

    Life at Besiktas started on a fine note for Super Eagles striker, Michael Eneramo as his new team breezed to a 2-0 win in the season opener against Trabzonspor on Sunday August 18 2013.

    Eneramo was not only handed a starting shirt, he was in action from start to finish and would have only wished to cap the night’s performance perhaps with a goal to his name.

    While maximum points are in the kitty for Besiktas, it must be said that it wasn’t a stroll in the park as they had to wait till the 75th minute before they could break the deadlock and the goal scorer was Olcay ªahan.

    Beskitas knew they needed at least one more goal to be sure of victory and that they did quickly enough as substitute Gokhan Töre sealed victory with his 82nd minute strike.

    The presence of former Chelsea star Florent Malouda in the Trabzonspor line-up counted for little as the visitors returned home empty-handed.

    Besiktas abandons Michael Eneramo chase

    Besiktas has abandoned its pursuit of Nigeria international Michael Eneramo, according to reports in Turkey.

    The soap opera starring the 27 – year – old striker has come to a conclusion and the verdict is not favorable, as the Besiktas chiefs say attempts will be made to sign another forward in the ongoing summer transfer market.

    Fanatik says the leadership of the Black Eagles can’t meet Eneramo’s financial demand believed to be in excess of one million euros.

    In addition, there are doubts surrounding the physical fitness of the former Esperance skipper, with doctors claiming that he has an irregular heartbeat.

    Michael Eneramo has a good reputation in Turkey and had attracted interest from Rizespor, Trabzonspor and Bursaspor before he agreed in principle to join Besiktas.
