It has been claimed that Hull City and Nice are interested in Beşiktaş's Turkish centre-back Emirhan Topçu, who has also attracted interest from clubs in England and France. Beşiktaş signed the 26-year-old from Çaykur Rizespor in the summer of 2024 for a fee of €3.4 million, and his current contract is valid until 2028. Both the club's management and coach Vincenzo Italiano do not want to sell him. Italiano is said to be pleased with the player's performance. However, it was also stated that the situation could be re-evaluated during the winter transfer window if an offer that is higher than their expectations is received. The defender, who has two caps for Türkiye, has a current market value of €9.0M, according to Transfermarkt.
