In anticipation, Brazilian star Alex Teixeira arrived in Istanbul, Turkey, with his wife Cristina Teis, and after completing quarantine checks and routine medical examinations, he will sign a three-year contract with Turkish super giant Besiktas with an annual salary of 3 million euros, in addition to which he will receive a signing fee of 900,000 euros. Considering Teixeira has not played in an official match for a long time, manager Sergen Yarchin will not send the Brazilian to the first three rounds of the league.

After the contract with Jiangsu Suning ended, Alace Teixeira had wanted to seek a super contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan, and there was news that Saudi giants Riyadh Crescent was willing to spend a lot of money to sign Teixeira, but after the summer window opened, the team used the foreign aid quota on another Brazilian striker, Mateus Pereira, although the latter's transfer fee was as high as 18 million euros, but compared to the 32-year-old Teixeira, his salary requirements were lower and the appreciation space was greater.
Riyadh's mid-moon exit surprised Alex Teixeira, who insisted on demanding a high salary, and once faced the embarrassing situation of no one taking over. Forced to do so, Teixeira had to hire top coaches to coach her training, and in addition to using her personal connections, she went to her parent team, Vasco da Gama, to borrow training grounds and indoor equipment.
At the height of the epidemic in Brazil, Teixeira had the idea of staying in the country to play, but even the deep-pocketed Palmeiras club could not meet his salary requirements. For Teixeira, who is already 32 years old, this is his last chance to earn a high salary, and he will categorically not accept the signing terms of the annual salary of one million euros.
In the end, Teixeira was introduced by her friend Sousa (the two had played together with Vasco da Gama) to contact Besiktas and agree on the terms of the contract. According to the Turkish media, before arriving in Istanbul, Teixeira had already communicated with Besiktas coach Yarchin and assistant coach Murat Shaheen, and according to the requirements of the opponent, Teixeira was gradually completing the training subjects to reach the game status as soon as possible.
At present, Teixeira and his wife, Cristina Tyes, are in quarantine, after which he will have to complete a routine medical examination before he can officially sign a contract with Besiktas. This weekend, the new Turkish Super League season will kick off, but in the first three rounds of the league, manager Yarchin will not consider sending Teixeira to the scene.
Once it enters international matchday, Teixeira will undergo intensive training and further run-ins with teammates who remain at the club (internationals will go to the national team).
