Why Besiktas terminated Amartey's contract
Besiktas were compelled to part ways with Amartey due to a specific Turkish Super Lig regulation that reduced the number of foreign players allowed to be registered each season.
Starting from the 2024/25 season, the limit on foreign players in a squad has been lowered from 14 to 12, which led to the termination of Amartey's contract as he couldn't be registered.
Despite the contract ending, Amartey is set to receive a €3 million severance package from the club.
