As Besiktas has signed Portugual striker Hugo Almeida from Werder Bremen on a three-and-a-half year contract for\u00a0a transfer fee of 2 million Euro last December, the deal was regarded as a lucrative business-deal for the Istanbul-based sports club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, in the following days, the funding of the transfer stirred some public speculations and after it was revealed, that the funding went through foreign channels, the discussion was heated.<\/p>\n

Quality Football Ireland Limited (ISC), a funding company, signed a partnership with Besiktas chairman Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m Demir\u00f6ren, by sponsoring the transfer 2 million euros which gave them not only the rights of Hugo Almeida’s possible future moves to other clubs, also if the striker should stay with Besiktas FC, the club has to pay a substantional amount of money to the company before being able to extend Almeida’s contract.<\/p>\n
