Beşiktaş and Milan Are After 21-Year-Old Defender Massire Sylla

Transfer work at Beşiktaş continues at full pace. The black-and-white management finalised its transfer list shortly before the mid-season transfer window opens. It is considered certain that the club will add a centre-back to its squad in January.

According to a report by Takvim, one of the names at the top of the list is 21-year-old Senegalese centre-back Massire Sylla, who plays for Union SG. The 1.96-metre player moved to the Belgian club during last season's mid-season window, and European giants are reported to be following him closely. Besides Beşiktaş, Italian giant Milan also want to sign the player. The young player, who has a market value of 5 million euros, is under contract with Union SG until 2030.

Sylla has made 16 official appearances this season, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. The player, whose strong physique stands out, troubles opponents with his dominance in aerial duels. His mature play and success in passing also stand out.

The report also revealed that head coach Vincenzo Italiano has approved Sylla's transfer. The black-and-white management is expected to contact Union SG in the coming days.
