Besiktas has experienced contrasting results during their European pre-season preparation matches. The Black-and-Whites earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Austrian club Mattersburg, courtesy of a deciding goal scored by one of the team's newest signings. However, their subsequent friendly fixture against Polish side Widzew Łódź resulted in a 2-0 defeat, with Emil Kornvig and Fran Álvarez netting the goals for the opposition. Besiktas is scheduled to continue their friendly schedule with an away fixture against Slovakian side FC Spartak Trnava.
Meanwhile, the club's competitive league fixture dates and broadcasting schedules across various intervals have been finalized:
August 16, 2026: Besiktas vs. Eyupspor (Süper Lig)
September 19, 2026: Amed vs. Besiktas (Süper Lig)
December 06, 2026: Besiktas vs. Samsunspor (Süper Lig)
February 27, 2027: Besiktas vs. Amed (Süper Lig)
April 04, 2027: Besiktas vs. Kasimpasa S.K. (Süper Lig)
In a bid to significantly upgrade their attacking output for the new campaign, Besiktas management has identified Nigerian international striker Terem Moffi as a primary transfer target. The decision comes in the wake of Moffi's finalized departure from Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice. Besiktas scouts and technical staff strongly believe that Moffi’s extensive experience across multiple high-profile European domestic leagues makes him the ideal candidate to spearhead the club's frontline.
Concurrently, Beninese international midfielder Junior Olaitan has publicly reached out to the Besiktas fanbase following a highly critical and frustrating season. Olaitan issued a formal apology to the supporters for his disappointing individual performances and the team's overall sub-par campaign. The midfielder emphasized that the squad has fully shifted its focus toward intense preparation, vowing a collective commitment to rectifying past errors and restoring the club to its competitive standards in the upcoming season.
Besiktas is on the verge of completing a major transfer coup with the acquisition of Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard. According to reliable football insiders and media sources, advanced negotiations between the Turkish Süper Lig giants and the Belgian international have successfully concluded, with both parties settling on personal terms for a 3+1-year contract.
Financial agreements and specific performance clauses between Trossard and Besiktas have reportedly been finalized. The transfer fee to be paid to Arsenal is estimated to be around €20 million. The 31-year-old attacker is scheduled to fly to Istanbul on Wednesday to undergo his mandatory medical examinations, sign his official contract, and finalize his high-profile move to the Black Eagles.
Besiktas has officially reinforced its men's basketball roster for the upcoming season by securing the services of American guard/forward DaQuan Jeffries. Jeffries, who concluded the previous competitive season in the NBA playing for the Sacramento Kings, has committed to the Turkish club as a key component of its comprehensive squad rebuilding program.
The transaction was formally announced through an official press release issued by the Istanbul-based sports club. The acquisition of the former NCAA Dunk Contest participant comes at a crucial juncture, as Besiktas prepares for its highly anticipated return to the EuroLeague platform. Club officials and basketball analysts view Jeffries' athleticism and defensive versatility as vital assets necessary for competing at the highest tier of European continental basketball.
