It's a busy day at Pedreira: there has already been an official announcement, negotiations are underway (and practically closed) and a possible exit is also on the table. Let's go in parts. This Tuesday morning, SC Braga presented Adrian Barisic. The Bosnia international central defender arrives at the Minho warriors on loan from Basel, leaving the arsenalists with an obligation to purchase at the end of the season, for €3.5 M. At that time, the centralão will be definitively linked to Braga, with a contract valid until 2030. And if Barisic has already arrived... Demir Tiknaz is on his way. Such as THE BALL As reported last Friday, negotiations for the signing of the young Turkish midfielder were already well advanced, and now, and according to the latest news published by the Turkish Press, the process has already been completed. According to the same sources, SC Braga pays €7 M immediately, plus €500,000 in bonuses, with Besiktas reserving 20 percent of the player's economic rights. Tiknaz has already traveled to Portugal, following which he underwent the essential medical examinations and then signed a contract with the arsenalists: the connection should be long, not least due to the youth (21 years old) of the (also) former Rio Ave athlete. Fiorentina on the Niakaté track But this transfer window for SC Braga cannot be written solely on entries. According to information provided by Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in market matters, Sikou Niakaté is in Fiorentina's orbit, with the Italian club being willing to receive the Malian central defender on loan. The matter will be analyzed by the SAD led by António Salvador, and it is certain that the arrival of Adrian Barisic could mean changes to the rearguard axis. Remember that for the aforementioned specific post, and in addition to Niakaté, Carlos Vicens also has Lagerbielke, Vítor Carvalho, Bright Arrey-Mbi and Paulo Oliveira.
