The Besiktas management and coaching staff are working on shaping the squad for the upcoming season. Head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has provided a report outlining the players he does not intend to include in the next season’s roster, according to the Türkiye daily.

The list includes Svensson, Emirhan, Zaynutdinov, Onur, Joao Mario, Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Ciro Immobile. Work is ongoing with Scout Director Eduar Graff to identify potential replacements.

Players currently out on loan, such as Tayfur, Onana, and Al Musrati, are also not expected to be part of the squad next season.

Can Keles will be assessed during pre-season preparations, while Tayyip Talha is planned to be loaned out? Offers for other players are also expected.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has reportedly attracted interest from Championship clubs.

Ciro Immobile is said to prefer a return to Italy. If a suitable offer is received, the club and player will discuss a potential transfer. The terms of Immobile’s current 6 million euros ($6.69 million) salary are expected to be part of the negotiations at the end of the season.
