Aras Ozbiliz due in Turkey to discuss Besiktas move

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian football player Aras Ozbiliz is negotiating a possible transfer to Besiktas, the Turkish sports club confirmed in a statement.

According to Besiktas International, the Armenian international winger has reached an agreement on all terms with the Black Eagles and will arrive in Istanbul Thursday, January 21 to sign a contract for 4,5 years after he passes his medical.

Özbiliz will be bought from Spartak Moscow for around € 3 million and will be directly loaned out to Spanish La Liga side Rayo Vallecano until the end of the season, Besiktas International says.

The Turkish club's winger Gökhan Töre will most likely be sold at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Ozbiliz will have 6 months to get in shape in La Liga to immediately take Töre’s place when he is sold for a good transfer fee.

Ozbiliz played in the youth academy of Ajax Amsterdam before getting in their first team. He played two seasons for the Dutch club, showing impressive results. At the end of the 2012 season he was sold to Krasnodar, before moving to Spartak Moscow only one year later for a transfer fee of € 8 million.

Besiktas have been following him for nearly two years now.
