Beşiktaş officially gives up on Kyle Walker Peters after repeated delays

Beşiktaş JK today announced the abrupt termination of its agreement to sign professional footballer Kyle Walker-Peters. The decision comes after the player, who was previously expected to arrive in Istanbul for a medical, repeatedly requested additional time, leading to the club's withdrawal from the transfer.

The Turkish Süper Lig club issued a concise statement to the public:

Statement from Our Club

It is known to the public that the arrival in Istanbul of professional footballer Kyle Walker-Peters, with whom we had previously reached a principle agreement and invited for a medical check-up, has been postponed.

Today, Kyle Walker-Peters notified us and once again requested additional time.

Upon this, our club has given up on the transfer of the said footballer.

Our club continues its transfer activities in line with its determined policy.

Respectfully submitted to the public.

Beşiktaş JK

The unexpected collapse of the deal for Walker-Peters, a defender with Premier League experience, means Beşiktaş will now re-focus its efforts elsewhere as it continues to build its squad according to its established transfer strategy.
