Beşiktaş is considering acquiring defender Marash Kumbulla after an attempt to sign Emmanuel Agbadou was unsuccessful due to high costs. Scout Director Eduard Graf suggested the Albanian player, who is currently with La Liga's Mallorca, as an economic option and a bargain transfer, and submitted a scouting report for President Serdal Adalı to review.
The Albania international has 26 caps for his country and has made 7 appearances in LaLiga this season. The 25-year-old's contract with his parent club, Roma, expires in June. His market value is reported to be 5 million euro, which is a decrease from the 26.5 million euro Roma paid in 2021. It was reported that during the summer 2025 transfer window, his loan to Mallorca included a purchase option between €6 million and €8 million. It was also said that Roma had demanded an €8 million obligatory purchase clause from Espanyol. It is also said that La Liga team Espanyol and Serie A's Udinese are closely monitoring the defender's situation.
