Beşiktaş, which is planning to part ways with goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu, has created an extensive list of new goalkeeper candidates. The management continues to be in close contact with the names on the list of local and foreign goalkeepers. One of the strongest names among the foreign candidates is Filip Jorgensen. There was a surprising development regarding the Danish goalkeeper, whom Beşiktaş worked hard to sign during the January transfer period, but could not complete the transfer due to Chelsea not granting a visa.
HE WANTS TO LEAVE
The Premier League giant put Filip Jorgensen on the sale list. According to the news in the BBC, the London representative decided to dispose of the 24-year-old glove, who was unhappy and wanted to leave the team, during the summer transfer period. Jorgensen, who is waiting as a backup behind Robert Sanchez and is in danger of being relegated to the third goalkeeper position with Mike Penders joining the team in the future, does not want to sit on the bench any longer. The successful goalkeeper informed the Chelsea management about his decision to leave.
FARIOLI IS ALSO PURSUING
Beşiktaş management’s job is not easy in the transfer of Filip Jorgensen, whom black-white fans want to see in the squad. Apart from Kartal, Portuguese giant Porto and Serie A representative Genoa, who are fighting for the championship under the management of coach Francesco Farioli, are also closely interested in the Danish glove.
24.5 MILLION EUROS
Chelsea had invested heavily in Filip Jorgensen. While the Premier League team transferred the Danish goalkeeper in the summer of 2024, the La Liga club paid a transfer fee of 24.5 million euros to Villarreal. The market value of the successful goalkeeper, who has a contract with his club until 2031, is shown as 15 million euros.
HE PLAYED IN 5 MATCHES IN THE LEAGUE
Coach Liam Rosenior, whose career in the English team was short-lived and he was dismissed, virtually condemned Filip Jorgensen to the bench. The Scandinavian goalkeeper, who had the chance to play 5 times in the Premier League, 3 times in the Champions League, 3 times in the EFL Cup and 1 time in the FA Cup, conceded 17 goals. Jorgensen only kept a clean sheet in the Champions League match against Pafos.
HE WANTED BEŞİKTAŞ
Goalkeeper Jorgensen said ‘yes’ to Beşiktaş’s offer during the January transfer period. However, Liam Rosenior did not allow the Danish goalkeeper to leave. The Black-Whites are expected to make an offer to the London representative with the rental formula with purchase option. Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı, in his statement in January, said, “Jorgensen wants to come, the problem there is that the club’s rental limit is full.”
