Turkish giants Besiktas have officially announced the departure of defender Daniel Amartey after both parties agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent. The 29-year-old Ghanaian defender, who joined the club earlier in the season, is now a free agent and available for transfer.

Amartey’s departure from Besiktas comes as somewhat of a surprise, as he was expected to play a key role in the team’s defense. However, the club and player decided to go their separate ways, with the termination of his contract signaling the end of his brief stint in Istanbul.

The versatile defender, who can play both as a center-back and a defensive midfielder, will now be looking for a new challenge elsewhere. At 29, Amartey still has several years ahead in his career and will likely attract interest from clubs across Europe and beyond.

Amartey’s departure marks the end of another chapter in his career, having previously played for clubs like Leicester City, where he won the Premier League title in 2016. His experience and skillset make him a valuable asset on the market, and it will be interesting to see where the Ghanaian international lands next.

For now, Amartey is free to explore his options as he steps into the next phase of his football journey.
