Raków Częstochowa is intensifying its search to add 21‑year‑old Turkish centre‑back Emirhan Basyigit, valued at €800,000 by Transfermarkt, to the squad in July 2026. The club has already brought in six new players, and this transfer could tighten the defence before the new season.
Who is Emirhan Basyigit?
Emirhan Basyigit, born in 2005, plays as a centre‑back for Turkish side Sivasspor. His performances attracted Polish media attention in the winter of 2025/2026 when speculation about a move to Raków first emerged. The young defender is known for solid technique, aerial ability, and good game reading.
Why does Raków want him?
After a successful summer window that added Adin Molnar, Oliwier Kwiatkowski, Jakub Jendryka, Dieudonne Gaucho Debohi, Tarik Karic and Mahir Emreli, the team’s manager seeks another defensive piece. Basyigit offers the potential to become a regular in the back line, and his age fits the club’s strategy of developing young talent.
What are the transfer terms?
Weszło reports that talks between Sivasspor and Raków are advanced, but final financial details remain undisclosed. The estimated €800,000 valuation suggests a moderate fee, possibly with performance‑related clauses typical for young players entering the Ekstraklasa.
How will this affect upcoming matches?
If the transfer materialises, Raków will gain extra depth in defence, which could translate into better results in the early fixtures of the season. The coach, already integrating six newcomers, will have more tactical flexibility, and opponents will have to adjust to the new defensive dynamics of the Medalians.
