Bartug Elmaz, a 21-year-old Turkish youth international midfielder, is set to join Beerschot on loan. Elmaz has played for Galatasaray and Marseille in the past and has only appeared four times for Fenerbahçe this season. The transfer is facilitated by Beerschot's new chairman and sporting director, who have connections with Fenerbahçe.

Beerschot has shown interest in acquiring Bartug Elmaz on loan in the upcoming winter transfer window. The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is currently under contract with Fenerbahçe until 2026. So far this season, Elmaz has made only three substitute appearances, two in the league and one in the Champions League. Beerschot is looking to capitalize on his potential by offering him more playing time. It has been reported that initial contacts have already been made.
