Beşiktaş has identified four Bayer Leverkusen players as potential summer signings: 27-year-old central midfielder Exequiel Palacios, Nathan Tella, Martin Terrier, and Patrik Schick. The Turkish club's sporting director, Serkan Recber, was reportedly in attendance for a recent Leverkusen match against FC Bayern. Talks have also taken place in Germany regarding the players. It is believed that Bayer Leverkusen would only be willing to let the Argentine international Palacios, who has 37 caps for his country, leave for a very high transfer fee. He joined the club in January 2020 and has a contract until 2030. Palacios has made 11 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, and his current market value is €30.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Al Ahli and West Ham United have also been connected with the player.
