Transfer work in Beşiktaş is becoming clearer. The black-whites want to add 4-5 players to their squad in the new season. Black Kartal aims to make its first two moves in the summer transfer window with Altay Bayındır and Salih Özcan. Goalkeeper Altay, who is expected to part ways with Manchester United, and national midfielder Salih, whose contract with Borussia Dortmund will expire, will be among Beşiktaş’s first transfer targets. Sergen Yalçın also approves of two star names in accordance with the deficiencies in the squad.
GREEN LIGHT FROM ALTAY
Altay Bayındır stands out in Beşiktaş, which will definitely reinforce the goalkeeper position in the new season. In order to both increase the number of locals in the squad and strengthen the goalkeeper rotation, the 27-year-old goalkeeper comes first on the list. It was stated that Altay, whose contract with Manchester United will expire in June 2027, is keen on returning to Türkiye. It was noted that Beşiktaş also wanted to transfer Altay without a transfer fee and that negotiations with Manchester United would begin.
SALİH ÖZCAN IS IN THE FIRST PLACE
Salih Özcan’s name comes first when it comes to reinforcements in the midfield. Salih, whose contract with B.Dortmund will expire at the end of the season, will not continue with the German club. Negotiations will begin with the 28-year-old midfielder, whom Beşiktaş wanted at the beginning of this season. It was reported that the experienced star was interested in joining the black and white team. It is aimed for Salih Özcan to join the squad in the summer period on a free transfer basis. The talks will be accelerated in a short time.
ONLY 8 MATCHES
Salih Özcan, who could not get the playing time he wanted in Borussia Dortmund this season, played in only 8 matches. Salih, whose contract will expire at the end of the season, played 32 minutes. The 28-year-old midfielder, who came to Dortmund in 2022, was loaned to Wolfsburg for the 2024-25 season.
6 MATCHES IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Altay Bayındır played 6 matches in the Premier League for Manchester United this season. Altay, who left Fenerbahçe and transferred to Manchester United in the 2023-2024 season, played a total of 17 matches with the English Premier League team in 2.5 seasons.
