Two days before the trip to Alvalade, Braga released Musrati, one of the team’s most sought after players, who moved to Besiktas, the Turkish club coached by Fernando Santos. Keeping the experienced 27-year-old midfielder until Sunday’s game against Sporting was impossible as the winter market in Turkey ended on Friday. Musrati dominated Braga from 2020/21 to 2022/23 but has lost influence this season, partly due to injury, becoming only the 16th most used player by Arthur Jorge. With midfield options (Vitor Carvalho, Zalasar, Joao Moutinho and Cher Ndour provided by PSG in this market), SAD Arsenal agreed to Musrati’s transfer to balance the balance after failing to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League. The Libyan will earn €1 million for the transfer, plus €11 million from the mandatory purchase clause (and €2.5 million in targets).
