?Ospina ve Arsenal ile maaş ve kiralama konusunda anlaşıldı..Burada bir sıkıntı yok..
?Tek pürüz Arsenal satın alma opsiyonunu yüksek tutuyor..
✅Beşiktaş ya satış yapıp, imzayı attıracak, ya da sadece satış opsiyonsuz kiralama için Arsenal’i ikna edecek.

Besiktas have made signing a keeper a priority after parting with Fabri who joined Fulham on a £5.3m move.
Ospina meanwhile is keen on the move after dropping into third place in the pecking order at Arsenal behind Bernd Leno and Petr Cech.
The Colombian international does have another two-years remaining on his contract giving Arsenal options next season if they do agree to loan him.
Besiktas would offer Ospina a first-team role which could give him the chance to put himself back on the map.
