Newly-promoted Turkish Super Lig outfit Vestel Manisaspor have pulled off a major transfer coup by securing Brazilian star Denilson on a season-long loan deal.
The winger joins from Real Betis where he had fallen out of favour with boss Lorenzo Serra Ferrer after struggling to overcome a series of injuries.
Vestel are owned by Zorlu, one of the largest corporations in the country, who provided the financial backing for the deal.
"Our talks with Real Betis went well and we've come to a positive result. Denilson is a gift from our honorary president Ahmet Nazif Zorlu," stated club spokesman Kenan Yarali stated.
"Denilson will be with us on loan for one season.
"There's also the option to loan him again for another season. Denilson will be coming to Manisa soon."
The shock move will disappoint a host of clubs who were looking to land Denilson including Santos, Cruziero and Sao Paulo in his homeland.

Very bizarre transfer here. Ok - Denilson didn't even come close to playing like for the money he was bought for but in the few games i seen of him last season he wasn't all that bad really. Just looked like he was lacking confidence.
Now he has gone to a newly promoted Turkish side.
