Beşiktaş continues its search for a forward: Vlahovic and Gabriel Jesus on the agenda

While Beşiktaş continues its preparations for the new season in Slovakya, it is also proceeding at full throttle with its transfer efforts. The black-and-white team aims to strengthen its attack by meeting with center-forward candidates approved by technical director Vincenzo Italiano. The club management is working intensively to add one of the two important names on their transfer list to their squad. Taking into account the dynamics of the pre-season camp, the management is eager to add a star forward to the squad. In this regard, steps are being taken for the transfer of two major stars who are on the agenda in both Avrupa and İngiltere.

The first and most important target in Beşiktaş's search for a forward is the Sırp striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has been on the agenda for a long time. For the player whose contract with Juventus has expired, making him a free agent, the club recently offered 10 milyon euro net salary and 5 milyon euro signing bonus. However, it is stated that Vlahovic has not yet given a clear response to this offer and prefers to wait for his decision. The Sırp player's decision is in a position that will directly affect Beşiktaş's other plans. The management is considered to be in a time-crunch situation to receive a positive or negative return regarding this offer.

In case the Vlahovic transfer does not materialize, the Beşiktaş management has also meticulously prepared a Plan B. In this context, the second important name on the black-and-whites' list became Gabriel Jesus, who plays for İngiltere's Arsenal club. It is suggested that the Brezilyalı footballer, who was away from the pitches for a long time due to a serious injury he suffered last season, is not included in technical director Mikel Arteta's plans for the new season. This situation is considered to be one of the details that strengthens Beşiktaş's hand. Following the approval of İtalyan technical director Italiano, it is stated that the management got in touch through Jesus's managers and submitted an offer.

Dusan Vlahovic, who is Beşiktaş's main target, is also on the radar of other major clubs in Avrupa. While it is stated that giants such as Bayern Münih and Barcelona are considering evaluating the Sırp player as a backup forward, it is claimed that the İtalyan team Milan is also in direct contact with the player. Furthermore, it is suggested that in Türkiye, the arch-rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe are also keeping Vlahovic on their transfer list and competing for the player. All these developments have reached a dimension that could cause reverberations in Avrupa football if the transfer is finalized.

The performance and physical condition of Gabriel Jesus, designated as the Plan B, are also being carefully examined. The Brezilyalı player could only return to the pitch in the second half of last season due to a severe injury he suffered. The statistics of the footballer, who scored 6 goals and made 2 assists in the 27 matches he played in all competitions, were analyzed in detail by the Beşiktaş management. It is expected to be clarified in the coming days what level he has returned to following his injury. It is stated that if the Vlahovic transfer falls through, Beşiktaş will quickly complete its initiatives to add Jesus to the squad and take the official step.
