Cardiff are able to spend money again in the January 2024 window after the ban on paying fees for players expired. Ucan , who is a three-cap Turkey international, has a contract with Turkish giants Besiktas until June 2024.

Speaking about transfers on Thursday, Bulut said: "We are looking always in the market at what we can get. We will continue. In January I hope we can do something. It will never end. Always we are looking and working on that.”

The Turkish report claims that Ucan attempted to negotiate a pay rise in his contract extension to up his salary from €400,000 to €1.5m but it was rejected.

Cardiff City have been linked with a move for Besiktas midfielder Salih Ucan.

It is understood that Erol Bulut wants to use the January transfer window to further bolster his team, who currently lie in eighth position in the Championship, with centre-back cover, a striker and the middle of the park very much on the list of priorities.


Ucan, 29, is a deep-lying midfielder and has started seven out of eight games for the Super Lig club so far this term and is considered a key player. He also started five out of six Europa League qualifiers. He has one goal and four assists so far this term.

That presumes we will keep all those mid-fielders in Jan. I am hoping Adams, Rinomhota and Sawyers will all be moved on.

Rinomhota and Sawyers I agree with but I would keep Adams as I believe he can make a difference in a game as a sub

Depends if we get more than x1 midfield player I guess
