Besiktas made an approach for Federico Chiesa before the Turkish transfer window closed on Friday, September 12. There are conflicting reports about why a move did not materialise. One Italian report claimed Liverpool blocked the transfer, describing Chiesa as a 'prisoner' at Anfield, whereas Gazzetta dello Sport stated that the player himself rejected the opportunity. The approach followed Chiesa's omission from Liverpool's Champions League squad. The player has publicly said that he is happy at Liverpool and wants to prove himself, and manager Arne Slot confirmed that Chiesa took the squad snub professionally.

Besiktas made an offer for a loan with a purchase option for Chiesa, but Liverpool considers Chiesa non-transferable and rejected the offer. Two Serie A clubs also made proposals in July, which were also rejected.

Beşiktaş started official attempts to sign Federico Chiesa, who was left out of Liverpool's UEFA Champions League squad. Reported by Fabrizio Romano. Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juventus for 14 million euros in the summer of 2024.

Besiktas, a club in the Turkish Superlig under the leadership of new coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær, has shown interest in acquiring Federico Chiesa. If Chiesa were to move to Istanbul, he would join fellow Italians Ciro Immobile and Cher Ndour, although he reportedly prefers to continue playing in a top league. Currently with Liverpool, Chiesa has struggled to secure playing time, having participated in only seven matches, accumulating a total of 186 minutes. Liverpool, who brought him in for 12 million euros plus an additional 3 million in bonuses, is considering the option of loaning him out, with Besiktas among the clubs expressing interest. The Turkish team faces competition from other clubs in Spain and Italy, as Chiesa assesses his options with a strong inclination to stay in a top-tier league.
