The attacker from Brazil Ailton will play in Turkey next season. The 32-year-old player transferred to Istanbul for 3.5 million euros. The contract of the most productive player of the 2003/04 Bundesliga season with the Gelsenkirchen team was still valid for another year, but the Brazilian did not hide his desire to leave this summer. "This is my last big transfer," said Ailton. "After two years, I will finish everything and return to Brazil." Last season, in the Turkish league, "Besiktas" finished only fourth and were 11 points behind the team that won the title. The club officials, who did not expect such poor results, did not hide that they plan to renew the team in the summer. Ailton arrived at "Schalke" last summer from Bremen. In 29 matches in the German championship wearing the blue "Schalke" jersey, the Brazilian scored 14 goals.
