The Turks are intrigued by the Brazilian, who the coach has already coached at Fiorentina. There is interest in the goalkeeper, but the high demand is frightening

Besiktas has no shortage of ambition and, apparently, not even money. As has been the case for several years, the Super Lig is positioning itself as a sort of European Saudi League – with the necessary differences – and players leaving the top clubs of the major European leagues are juicy prey during the transfer market. Thus, between the work of the agents and those of the clubs themselves, in recent weeks the Turks have come to evaluate three other players of the Lady in addition to Dusan Vlahovic as a free transfer.

In addition to the Serbian out of contract, the other name that has received positive reviews in Istanbul is that of Arthur Melo, returning from his loan at Gremio but having been out of Juventus’ plans for some time and perhaps available to leave for free, to close an expensive and unprofitable chapter for the club. Vincenzo Italiano coached him at Fiorentina in the 2023-2024 season and wouldn’t mind having him back in the Super Lig. Also due to cost issues, Douglas Luiz did not arouse interest, while Michele Di Gregorio ended up on the list for the goalkeeper: Besiktas, however, does not want to reach 15 million euros for his price tag and therefore his name remained behind the favorite Alexander Nubel of Bayern Munich, who in the past was also explored by Juventus themselves.
