January plan to be discussed at three-way summit at Beşiktaş

Beşiktaş's January roadmap will be drawn up at a three-way summit. President Serdal Adalı, Football Director Önder Özen and Head Coach Vincenzo Italiano will meet to discuss the squad plan for the second half of the season. The demands the Italian coach has conveyed to the management will be addressed at the meeting. Which areas will be prioritized and which of the candidates will be contacted will become clear after this meeting. It is reported that Italiano's first choice in defence is a left-footed centre-back. In midfield, a player with tempo who can ease the load on Salih Özcan is being sought. Joe Willock and Nicolas Raskin are reported to have been evaluated for this position. Önder Özen will also present the work carried out in line with the needs of the technical staff at the meeting. Once priorities are set, the transfer process will be given the green light.
