Besiktas are shifting their focus to Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze after their attempt to sign Bright Osayi-Samuel fell through, NaijNaira can report.
The Turkish club had been in talks to bring in Osayi-Samuel from Fenerbahce, but the deal didn’t materialize.
Besiktas ended last season in fourth place, a staggering 33 points behind league champions Galatasaray.
The gap has pushed the club to scout for top-level talent, especially in attack.
Chukwueze is now on their radar as a possible summer signing to strengthen their front line.
A source from Kartal Hati confirmed, “Besiktas are seriously considering Samuel Chukwueze as their next signing.”
The 26-year-old has struggled to make an impact at AC Milan and is currently not part of their future plans.
Reports suggest Milan are open to selling him, but they have yet to receive a concrete offer.
Transfermarkt currently values Chukwueze at €10 million, a fee that aligns with Besiktas’ transfer budget.
The Nigerian winger has also been linked to Fulham in the English Premier League, though no formal bid has emerged.
Chukwueze must weigh his next move carefully, as joining Besiktas could mean less visibility than playing in LaLiga or the Premier League.
Still, the Turkish giants remain hopeful they can lure him with a strong offer and regular playing time.
With the summer window wide open, Chukwueze’s next club remains uncertain.
He could either stay in Europe’s elite or take on a new challenge in Turkey.
