Beşiktaş Begins Transfer Work, Mavropanos Back on the Agenda

Beşiktaş has started its work for the mid-season transfer window. In line with the report from head coach Vincenzo Italiano, the management is considering strengthening the defensive line first. Within this framework, Konstantinos Mavropanos, whom the club was interested in at the start of the season, has come back into the picture.

According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi, West Ham United does not intend to release Mavropanos during the break. It is reported that the club's stance will be decisive in whether the transfer happens.

The black-and-white management, which plans at least 2-3 signings in January, wants to add reinforcements in midfield and on the wings alongside the centre-back. Because of injuries and the team competing on two fronts, the aim is to widen the rotation in midfield. The planned addition in this area is especially intended to reduce the load on Salih Özcan.

Beşiktaş, which is still in the league title race and close to qualifying from the Europa League, aims to build a competitive squad by meeting Italiano's demands.
