Atletico Madrid midfielder Bernard Mensah set to join Kayserispor on permanent basis

Atletico Madrid midfielder Bernard Mensah will move to Turkey on a permanent basis this summer, report Diario AS.

The Ghanaian midfielder is currently on loan at Kayserispor, who wish to sign him outright, but Besiktas are also reported to be keen on a deal.

“The player has been on loan to our team since last summer, and our contract ends at the end of the season,” explained Kayserispor president Erol Bedi.

“He has two more years of contract with Atletico Madrid and for us there is only one possibility, because we do not want another loan deal.

“We are in a position to negotiate for a permanent transfer, so we will speak to Atletico about this issue.”

Mensah has won three caps for Ghana and has enjoyed previous loan stints at Getafe and Vitoria Guimaraes.
