Squad clear-out underway
Beşiktaş are set to part ways with three first-team players as the summer rebuild kicks into gear. The club has made decisions on Cengiz Ünder, Jota Silva, and El Bilal Toure, none of whom will be retained for next season. Milot Rashica is also expected to leave, with the front office pushing for a clean reset in the wide positions. (1) (4)
Arsenal star on the radar
The player Beşiktaş want to lead the new-look attack is Arsenal's Jota Silva. The Portuguese winger has been added to the club's transfer shortlist and is viewed as the marquee signing to replace the outgoing wide men. No formal bid has been lodged yet, but the intent is clear. (1) (4)
Semih Kılıçsoy coming home
In a boost for the squad, Semih Kılıçsoy's return to Beşiktaş is now locked in. Cagliari's president confirmed the Serie A club will not exercise their purchase option on the young forward, meaning he heads back to Istanbul this summer. After a solid loan spell in Italy, he rejoins a team that desperately needs his goals. (2)
