According to ExWHUEmployee, Beşiktaş is among a few clubs awaiting an opportunity to sign Edson Álvarez, who is expected to depart West Ham. A provisional loan agreement with an option to buy has reportedly been agreed with German side FC Koln, but the player has not yet agreed to personal terms. It is believed his salary is higher than what the German club can afford, which has alerted other interested parties, including Fenerbahçe.
