Faltering Besiktas have re-inforced their ranks by acquiring their second Portugal international star this week as Hugo Almeida signed for the Turkish side.
Almeida has been given a three-year deal after switching from Bundesliga Werder Bremen for €2 million ($2.62 million).
The 26-year-old has been at Bremen since 2006 -- scoring 41 goals in 117 appearances -- with news saying he has left after failing to agree a new deal.
Almeida, who has also scored 12 goals in 33 games for his country, joins fellow Portugal international Simao at the 13-time Turkish champions.
Simao, who played in the Portugal side which reached the Euro 2004 final and the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, joins from Atletico Madrid for €7 million ($9.18 million) on a two-and-half-year deal.
The 31-year-old retired from international football after this year's World Cup having made 85 appearances.
The pair will join a team which has slipped to fifth in the Turkish standings, 14 points behind leaders Bursaspor.
