Beşiktaş's summer revolution: record budget and searches in Europe
Ahead of the start of the season, Beşiktaş Sevdalıları reports that President Serdal Adalı has set an unprecedented goal: to spend the highest transfer amounts in the club's history. As part of this, the club's management is embarking on a series of urgent trips to Italy and England to close deals in the next 10 days.
Big names in the crosshairs
The market is buzzing with rumors of significant acquisitions: according to Galatasaray Başakşehir Canlı and Haber Gündem, both Beşiktaş and Galatasaray have made contact with Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović. At the same time, Beşiktaş is in advanced negotiations with Jean-Philippe Mateta, for whom Crystal Palace is demanding 25 million euros, alongside a salary demand of 8 million euros from the player (according to A Spor).
Strengthening lineups and squad development
The club is operating according to a defined professional plan, which includes bringing in an experienced goalkeeper (with names from Germany and France), a left-back, a left-winger, and a quality "regista" midfielder (according to Doğan Gündoğdu). In addition:
- Goalkeepers: Serdal Adalı is interested in Altay Bayındır, who for his part is expressing willingness to move.
- Defense and midfield: The club is following Ahmetcan Kaplan and Adil Demirbağ, and is in negotiations regarding Kassoum Ouattara from Monaco and Rolando Mandragora from Fiorentina.
- Youth: İlhan Fakılı has agreed to join the club, while Semih Kılıçsoy is determined to stay and prove his ability (according to Sercan Dikme).
Beşiktaş's activity is supported by reports from sources close to the club (such as Yağız Sabuncuoğlu and Sercan Morova), which indicate that the team is not only looking for new players but also waiting for developments regarding players from the current World Cup.
