Ghanaian defender Daniel Amartey is on the verge of a return to the Turkish Süper Lig, with Trabzonspor reportedly in advanced discussions to sign the 29-year-old.
Having been without a club since the expiration of his contract with Beşiktaş in September, Amartey’s potential move could bolster Trabzonspor’s defensive options for the remainder of the season.
Amartey, who spent the last season at Beşiktaş, is familiar with Trabzonspor’s coach Şenol Güneş, having worked under him at the Turkish club.
Their prior successful relationship is likely to play a key role in the negotiations.
Güneş, renowned for his ability to get the best out of defenders, is seen as an ideal figure to help Amartey rediscover his best form and secure a regular starting position once again.
The talks between Amartey and Trabzonspor are reportedly progressing smoothly, with sources close to the negotiations suggesting that a deal could be finalised before the end of the year.
Should the transfer go through, Amartey is expected to sign a one-and-a-half-year contract with the club, which will include an option for an additional year, providing both the player and the club with stability moving forward.
The move presents an excellent opportunity for Trabzonspor to strengthen its defensive lineup with an experienced international player.
Amartey, who has earned multiple caps for Ghana, brings with him a wealth of experience from top-tier football in both Turkey and internationally.
His addition to the squad could prove invaluable in helping Trabzonspor challenge for a higher league position in the second half of the season.
For Amartey, this transfer represents a chance to reignite his career after a period of uncertainty.
With Trabzonspor’s interest and his familiarity with the coach, he will look to make an immediate impact and prove his worth in the Turkish Süper Lig.
