Football player Cengiz Under, a key figure at Fenerbahce, transfers on loan to their arch-rivals Besiktas
In a significant move during the Super Lig transfer window, Cengiz Under has completed a loan transfer from Fenerbahce to fellow Istanbul-based club Besiktas. The deal, which includes a purchase option, was officially announced by both clubs.
The 28-year-old Turkish international, known for his impressive performances, will be joining Besiktas for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. The transfer fee for this loan agreement was not disclosed, but the buy option is set at €6 million ($7,06 million).
Cengiz Under, who joined Fenerbahce from Olympique de Marseille in August 2023 for a transfer fee of €15 million, made 43 appearances for the club, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists. Last season, he was loaned to MLS side Los Angeles FC after featuring in just nine matches during the first half of the campaign.
Besiktas has welcomed Cengiz Under with open arms, sharing the slogan "Welcome to our Besiktas" to celebrate his arrival. The loan deal does not include a mandatory purchase clause, but the player's wages during the loan period will be shared between Fenerbahce and Besiktas.
Fenerbahce, in wishing Cengiz Under a season free from injuries, expressed their hope that he will continue to excel in his new environment. Meanwhile, Besiktas fans eagerly anticipate the contributions that Cengiz Under will make to their team.
This transfer marks another chapter in the long-standing rivalry between Istanbul's two most prominent football clubs. Cengiz Under was initially signed by Fenerbahce, but his move to Beşiktaş promises to add an exciting new dynamic to the city's football landscape.
As the 2025-26 season unfolds, football fans in Turkey and beyond will be watching closely to see how Cengiz Under performs in his new role at Besiktas.
