Basaksehir have today unveiled their new signings Kerim Frei and Manuel da Costa to the Turkish press.
Gumusdag said to the club’s website: “We have signed a 3 year contract with Kerim Frei and a two plus one year contract with Costa. We will pay €1m for Kerim Frei plus bonuses for a total of €1.5m.”
Frei’s time at Birmingham City lasted only six months and he said: “I’m very happy to be here. I was invited by Abdullah Avci to the club. I can say that I am very happy to serve him.”
Birmingham City will make a loss on Frei after signing the winger from Besiktas for €2.5m in January. Frei made just 13 appearances for Birmingham last season, with 10 of those coming off the bench.
Given Harry Redknapp wasn’t a great fan of Frei last season, when the manager was appointed long term it was no surprise the player’s future was under threat.
