Agent of Aston Villa winger Trezeguet opens door to transfer

The agent of Aston Villa winger Trezeguet has cooled talk of agreeing terms with Besiktas.

The Egypt international spent the second six months of the 2021/22 season on loan with Istanbul Basaksehir. In his short time at the club he scored six goals and provided four assists in 13 Super Lig appearances. Those performances have led to reported interest from a number of different clubs around the world. There has been some suggestions that the player has agreed terms with Besiktas ahead of a potential transfer.

That has now been dismissed by the player's agent Christian Emile. The representative has confirmed contact with other clubs from both Turkey and around Europe.

"The news out of Turkey that Besiktas has agreed to terms with Trezeguet is simply false," Emile told journalist Ekrem Konur. “Naturally, after becoming the standout performer in the Super Lig with Basaksehir, he has piqued the interest of all the major Turkish clubs.

“They have contacted me, as have clubs in Europe and the Premier League, but we have yet to reach an agreement with anyone. Trezeguet is currently focused solely on his duties with the Egypt national team."
