Nuno Espirito Santo on the radar
Your next manager could be Nuno Espirito Santo. Beşiktaş have added the current West Ham boss to their shortlist as the managerial search intensifies (4). Portuguese media back this up, reporting that Nuno is firmly in the frame for the vacant role (7). He's not the only name being discussed, but the link keeps growing stronger by the day.
Coaching search hits walls
It's not going smoothly. Several candidates approached by Football Director Önder Özen have already turned down the job due to the club's current situation (6). Beşiktaş have officially denied specific names circulating in the press and insisted Özen is running the process properly (1). That denial came in response to some of the wilder speculation.
Semih Kılıçsoy wants to stay in Europe
The 20-year-old forward has left Cagliari but has no intention of returning to Beşiktaş this summer (5). He wants to continue his career in Europe. That's a complication the club will need to manage, whether through a sale or another loan.
Gedson Fernandes could return
Former Beşiktaş midfielder Gedson Fernandes may be heading back to the Süper Lig. Turkish clubs, including Beşiktaş, are circling the Spartak Moskova man ahead of the summer window (2). A familiar face who already knows the league.
Eren Dinkçi a free-agent target
Beşiktaş are tracking Heidenheim forward Eren Dinkçi, whose contract runs out in June (3). The 24-year-old would arrive on a free transfer. An opportunistic move that fits the current financial picture.
