According to Fanatik, Beşiktaş has added Spartak Moscow's Alexander Djiku to their transfer list as they aim to strengthen their defense. It is stated that Djiku is open to returning to Turkey. It is also reported that a loan formula is being considered for the defender, who has a contract with the Russian club until 2027.

According to Takvim, Spartak defender Alexander Djiku's wife is reportedly unhappy with life in Russia, leading the footballer to ask Beşiktaş, through his agent, to sign him in the January transfer window. Takvim also indicates that the Turkish club has renewed its attempts to acquire the 31-year-old Ghanaian, having previously been interested in him last summer. Djiku, who joined Spartak from Fenerbahçe in September 2025, has a contract with the club until the summer of 2027. His market value is estimated to be €5 million, according to the Transfermarkt portal. The defender has earned 36 caps for Ghana, scoring 4 goals, and has made 7 appearances in the Russian Premier Liga this season.
