Basaksehir is interested in signing Mehmet Aydin from FC Schalke. He is currently available on a free transfer as there are no signs of a contract extension with Schalke.

Schalke 04 has informed Mehmet Aydin that his contract, which expires in the summer, will not be extended. Financial considerations, including his salary, which is reportedly around half a million euros per year, are likely a significant factor in this decision. Aydin is regarded as a key player, especially on the right flank, and the decision is seen as controversial from a sporting perspective.
