Besiktas management has renewed their interest in French striker Alexandre Lacazette, a player they have targeted for the past two years. With the 33-year-old forward’s contract nearing its end, the club has reportedly begun discussions with his representatives.
Aiming to start the new season as serious title contenders, Besiktas plans to strengthen its squad with key signings. Following the head coach’s instructions, the club has prioritized reinforcing the attacking line.
Besiktas is focusing on strengthening both its forward and wing positions and has shortlisted several prominent players. Lacazette, who has been linked with the club over the past two seasons, remains their primary target.
According to Turkish media, Besiktas has started informal talks with the experienced striker, whose contract with Lyon is about to expire.
The 33-year-old French forward, who has been a consistent target for Besiktas, scored twice in his final match for Lyon before leaving the club. This season, Lacazette played in 42 official games, scoring 19 goals and providing 3 assists.
Acknowledging interest from Besiktas and other clubs, Lacazette said: “Now is the time to think. My new team will be decided within a few weeks.”
Reports suggest that Lacazette is open to Besiktas’s offer, indicating a possible transfer soon.
