Another Portuguese has joined Istanbul this week - for 2.3 million euros, Hugo Almeida was acquired from "Werder" Bremen.

The 26-year-old footballer signed a contract for one and a half years, as negotiations for contract extension with "Werder" broke down due to his excessive salary demands.

A few days ago, "Besiktas" shook hands with Madrid's "Atletico" right back Simao, who signed a two and a half year contract. The Turks paid 7 million euros for him.
