- Beşiktaş confirmed on February 6 a permanent deal for Amir Murillo on a two-and-a-half-year contract with a one-year option.
- Murillo has made three appearances and netted his first goal in Sunday’s 4-0 win over Göztepe, drawing strong reviews from Turkish outlets.
- After scoring, he mimed eating in a celebration La Provence interpreted as a nod to De Zerbi’s ‘hunger’ critique, a week after a clothesline on ex-teammate Amine Harit that earned a booking.

- Reports differ on the fee, with La Provence citing about €5 million and Foot Mercato reporting €6 million including bonuses.
