Beşiktaş Transfer Market Overview: Defensive Reinforcements and Midfield Targets

Beşiktaş is actively pursuing multiple domestic and international targets to bolster its squad for the upcoming season. According to reports, the club's management has prioritized strengthening the defensive line. Contact has been made with Aston Villa regarding center-back Pau Torres, who is seen as a primary target to partner with Agbadou. Additionally, Beşiktaş is reportedly monitoring AS Roma's Evan Ndicka as another viable option for the center-back position.

In the midfield, Beşiktaş has shown significant interest in 21-year-old Nigerian midfielder Anthony Dennis, following his impressive performances for Göztepe. On the outgoing front, current Beşiktaş loanee Orkun Kökçü is drawing interest from Premier League giants; Liverpool manager Arne Slot is reportedly keen on a reunion with his former Feyenoord player, while Manchester United is also monitoring Kökçü as a potential replacement for Casemiro. Furthermore, Beşiktaş is preparing formal talks with Manchester United for a summer move—potentially a swap or free transfer—involving goalkeeper Altay Bayındır.
