The goalkeeper has sent Turkish football fans, and
media, crazy with his switch.
According to a major news network (NTV), Fenerbahce's goalkeeper
Rustu Recber has completed his move to bitter rivals
Besiktas.
The contract is said to be three years long and Rustu is going to
earn 1,5 million euros per year.
Having long been regarded as one of the symbolic players of
Fenerbahce (he has also been the captain), the transfer has created
a lot of controversy in Turkey.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper, who once played for Barcelona, spent
much of the last season on the bench due to an injury he picked
against Italy while playing for Turkish national team.
Fenerbahce's third keeper Serdar Kulbilge had put on a quite good
performance during his absence, and although Rustu was fit in the
last few weeks of the season, he couldn't get his place back.
Besiktas have also signed young goalkeeper Hakan Arikan from
Ankaraspor, which is a clear sign that Croatian goalie Vedran Runje
will not be playing for them next season.
