ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish national Ismail Koybasi transferred to Spanish La Liga football club Granada on Thursday.

"Bienvenido (Welcome) Koybasi," Granada posted on its Twitter account.

He is expected to sign one-and-one contract with Granada. If both sides agree at the end of the first year, the contract would be extended for another year.

The 30-year-old defender has been with Fenerbahce since 2016 and played in 17 matches last season.

Koybasi is the third Turkish footballer in La Liga, joining Okay Yokuslu who plays for Celta Vigo and Enes Unal on the Valladolid club.
