Foreign Player Quota Obstacle in Beşiktaş's Transfer Planning
While midfield and center-back transfers are targeted at the black-and-white club, the current number of foreign players reaching 18 has left the management facing a difficult math.
As the end of the transfer window approaches at Beşiktaş, managed by Vincenzo Italiano, a foreign player quota issue is being experienced for the planned reinforcements in the midfield and center-back positions. The fact that the number of foreign players in the squad has reached 18 and that expected offers for names slated to leave have not yet arrived is forcing the club to make new decisions.
Foreign Quota Trouble
Beşiktaş Club plans to make a midfielder and a center-back transfer during the transfer window, while the current number of foreign players has reached 18.
The management's primary goal is to part ways with current foreign players to make room for new names to join the squad.
Names Expected to Leave
Al-Musrati and Joao Mario, who are training away from the team, continue to search for clubs while contract termination remains among the options.
The management also continues negotiations regarding a separation with Amir Hadziahmetovic.
Players with Uncertain Futures
While Milot Rashica has not yet given a definitive response to the offers received by the club, the expected double-digit figures for Wilfred Ndidi have not been reached yet.
Although there is interest in Vaclav Cerny, notably from his former club Rangers, there are currently no concrete offers on the table.
Possibility of Departure from the Core Squad
According to the current Süper Lig quota calculations, if Beşiktaş sends away 2 players from the squad aside from Musrati and Mario, they will only be able to make 1 new foreign transfer.
For the management to ease its hand in transfers and carry out more moves, it may also need to say goodbye to some players from the core squad.
