Former Real Madrid star Guti Hernandez officialy parted ways with Turkish giants Besiktas JK Istanbul, where he has been playing for 1,5 seasons.

Istanbul / NationalTurk – Guti moved to Beşiktaş in the summer of 2010, leaving Real Madrid, the club he started playing football for at the age of 10 in a youth league, after 24 years. The midfielder was one of the two main figures in Beşiktaş’s ‘Los Galacticos’ project along with Portuguese superstar Ricardo Quaresma and quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his lethal passing.

However, starting with the midseason break last year, Guti’s form dipped, and he lost his regular spot in the team with the arrival of midfielders Simao Sabrosa and Manuel Fernandes.

This season he found himself completely out of favor at Beşiktaş, playing only three games. Besiktas interim coach, the Portuguese manager Carlos Carvalhal preferred to exclude him from 18 men squad. Furthermore, he was criticized by Besiktas fans for posting his personal photos on Twitter while his teammates were busy playing a Europa League match at Stoke City on Sept. 29.

Besiktas board and Guti came to an agreement for paying half of Guti’s annual salary of 2.7 M. Euros.
