Besiktas is another club that has shown interest in Erik Lamela, closely following his situation at AEK. The Turkish club, alongside Galatasaray, has been monitoring the 33-year-old Argentine's status, particularly as his future at AEK appears uncertain. Despite their interest, neither club has yet managed to entice him away from AEK, where he is currently negotiating with Javier Ribalta and his representatives to find a resolution for his contract and departure. This situation is further complicated by offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, which have also been unable to secure his agreement.
