Beşiktaş’s love for Armand Lauriente does not end… The black-and-whites, who plan to make major operations in the squad for the next season, continue their efforts to add wingers of unquestionable quality to their colors. The management is determined to tie the French left winger, who wears the Sassuolo jersey, to its colors. Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla claimed that Kartal had serious interest in Armand Lauriente, who came to the agenda during the summer transfer period last year.
ITALIANS HAVE A STRONG HAND
It was stated in the news that Beşiktaş officials contacted Sassuolo for the 27-year-old star, who extended his contract with the Serie A representative on 15 May 2026 until 30 June 2029. The Italian team has a strong hand at the bargaining table because the player’s contract has been renewed. It was learned that President Serdal Adalı was ready to make any financial sacrifice to bring Armand Lauriente, who was on the agenda of Trabzonspor for a while, to the black and white team.
DIRECT EFFECT ON 16 GOALS
The French star attracted attention with his consistency in form in Sassuolo last season. The experienced winger, who played in 38 matches in Serie A (Italian League), one of the toughest leagues in Europe, had a direct impact on 16 goals, scoring 7 times and assisting 9 times. Lauriente, who played once in the Italian Cup, could not contribute to the score.
STEALING AND SHOOTING FEATURE
One of Beşiktaş’s biggest problems on the field last season was the inefficiency of its wing players. Armand Lauriente has the equipment to find a solution to this problem. The French player, who stands out with his effective dribbles on the left wing, can easily create a loss of men thanks to his one-on-one dribbling ability. The 27-year-old star, who can also play on the right wing and forward when necessary, can make surprise shots on goal by moving from the wing to the center. Additionally, he can become the most important weapon of his team with his set-piece skills.
THE VALUE HAS REACHED THE PEAK
The value of Armand Lauriente, who had the most productive period of his career in the Serie A representative, reached its peak. According to Transfermarkt data, the market value of the French winger, which was 15 million euros in June last year, increased to 18 million euros in March and now 19 million euros.
