The first player to leave Beşiktaş has been identified

Following reports that Beşiktaş will undergo a squad overhaul at the end of the season, speculation regarding who will depart has emerged, with a claim surfacing in the Italian press.

According to a report in the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta, Beşiktaş will not exercise the option to make the transfer of Asllani, whom they loaned from Inter, permanent. The report on the matter stated the following:

Albanian midfielder Asllani, whom Inter signed from Empoli as the heir to Hakan Çalhanoğlu, failed to display the expected performance for the Black and Whites.

Asllani began the season on loan at Torino, but he did not meet expectations there either. Torino terminated his contract early, despite it being scheduled to run until the end of the season.

Asllani, who played his first match for Beşiktaş against Konyaspor in January, entered the game in the 76th minute and received a red card seven minutes later, resulting in a two-match suspension.

He later began playing in the starting 11, but recorded only one assist in eight matches, and his overall performance remained average or below average.

For this reason, it seems highly unlikely that the Turkish club will exercise the purchase option, which is estimated to be around ten million euros.
