Emir Ortakaya, a 20-year-old defender, is poised to join Beerschot on a loan deal. Having been previously loaned to Westerlo, his contract there was terminated after he played only five matches over a six-month period. Ortakaya has made his way to Belgium to negotiate the transfer with Beerschot. This move is being facilitated by the club's new Turkish chairman and sporting director, who are using their connections to bolster the team as they face a difficult position in the league standings. Ortakaya, who remains under contract with Fenerbahçe, is anticipated to arrive on a loan basis, marking his return to the Jupiler Pro League just weeks after his previous loan was unexpectedly ended.
