Besiktas, which had a relatively quiet winter transfer window, recently added Keny Arroyo to its squad. Now, the club is making a major move to secure the signing of Barcelona winger Ansu Fati.

Reports indicate that Besiktas head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has listed Fati as a key transfer target, and negotiations are progressing.

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick reportedly left the 22-year-old out of the squad for the Valencia match and advised him to find a club where he could play regularly.

According to Turkish media, Fati, who has struggled with injuries in recent years, is now open to a move to Türkiye. Despite past setbacks, the Spanish winger’s fitness is reportedly not a concern, and he is considering joining Besiktas on loan. If the Black Eagles submit a formal offer, he could soon be donning the club’s black-and-white jersey.

At the start of the transfer window, Besiktas proposed a loan deal with a purchase option for Fati. Now, the club’s management is preparing to resume talks with Barcelona in hopes of finalizing the transfer.
