After signing Junior Olaitan from Göztepe in the mid-season window, Beşiktaş intends to approach the club again in the summer for another player, Anthony Dennis. The technical team reportedly wants to acquire the 21-year-old Nigerian defensive midfielder due to his dynamic and versatile playing style. However, Beşiktaş is not the only club interested; according to reports, the Spanish club Villarreal and German Bundesliga side Mainz have been following the player.

Dennis joined Göztepe from HB Abuja in January 2023. Göztepe's valuation for Dennis is understood to be approximately 10 million Euros, and the club plans to listen to all offers at the end of the season. Intense negotiations are expected to take place during the summer transfer period. The player's contract with the Turkish club runs until June 2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m. In the current 2025/2026 Süper Lig season, Dennis has made 24 appearances, scoring 3 goals.
