Besiktas terminate promising star’s contract as he’s forced to deny he was axed over viral Bumble account
BESIKTAS have terminated Emirhan Delibas’ contract after his online dating account appeared to be leaked online.
The player has been forced to deny it is the reason he has left the club.
Delibas and Besiktas mutually agreed to rip up his contract.
The reason behind the move was not officially confirmed in the club’s statement that read: “We have parted ways with professional football player Emirhan Delibas by mutual agreement. We wish him success in his future career.”
But the news broke at the same time a screenshot of his Bumble profile went viral online.
The account appearing to be of Delibas features a selfie of him in a Besiktas shirt.
It says that he is interested in football, rock music and dogs, while it also states that he wants a casual relationship.
The profile claims that he is 24-years-old when he is actually 21.
Delibas denied he uses Bumble, saying on Instagram: “I reject the slanders made by fake accounts and would like to state that my loyalty to my team cannot be questioned.
“Besiktas is a responsibility for me. Your love has been my greatest motivation.”
Delibas has played two times for the Turkish giants and has been capped by the nation’s Under-19 side twice.
The midfielder spent last season on loan at Goztepe in the second division.
