Can Keles (25) moved from Wiener Austria to Karagümrük in Turkey in 2023.

In 2024, he then made the move to Besiktas. He spent the past season on loan at Kocaelispor.

Shortly before the end of the transfer window in Turkey (September 4), a transfer was on the cards. "Milliyet" reported an agreement with Rizespor. However, the Austrian was never registered in the end. The reason why the deal ultimately failed is not known.

No Further Turkey Transfer Possible

After the deadline expired, Keles can no longer move within Turkey. A deal abroad is only possible where the transfer window is still open. These transfer windows are still open >>>

Keles still has a contract until 2028. The winger has not featured for Besiktas yet this season. He will certainly not play in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League, as the Austrian was not registered for it.
