Demir Ege Tıknaz, currently on loan at Rio Ave from Beşiktaş, has attracted attention from Benfica due to his impressive performance. He played 33 official matches scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists. Despite his standout season, Rio Ave has not yet received an acceptable offer for Demir Ege, who is valued at 9-10 million Euro by the club, while his loan includes a 5 million Euro buyout clause that expires today. Consequently, Beşiktaş is preparing for the possibility of his return if Rio Ave does not finalize the purchase.
