Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar, who has played for Beşiktaş on three separate occasions and most recently for Hatayspor, joined Neftçi Bakü of Azerbaijan. His contract with Neftçi Bakü, which he played for this season, is set to expire on June 30. Aboubakar, who has shown interest in continuing his career in Europe, is reportedly considering a move to Bursaspor, which has been promoted to the Turkish Süper Lig.

According to reports from AfricaFoot, Bursaspor is showing strong interest in Aboubakar, despite the striker's current club not renewing his contract. The Green-Whites, aiming to start the season with a strong squad, have reportedly placed Aboubakar at the top of their transfer list. The 34-year-old striker, who played 18 official matches for Neftçi Bakü this season, contributed with nine goals and one assist.
Aboubakar's return to Turkey is a no-brainer for Bursaspor, but how will it impact his relationship with Beşiktaş fans? Is this move a sign of things to come for the striker's career, or just a temporary stint?
