According to sources who spoke to TEAMtalk, reports suggesting Illan Meslier is close to moving to Besiktas should be viewed with skepticism. The French player has a minor role at Elland Road and is open to securing a new club before becoming a free agent this summer. There remain a number of significant obstacles to overcome before a move to Istanbul can be confirmed.

Reports from Turkey this week regarding a move for Meslier are genuine, and Besiktas have been in talks over a deal. The club has also held discussions with Leeds, but there are significant obstacles to overcome before a deal can be approved. For a move to happen now, Meslier would need to reach an agreement with Leeds over the remainder of his contract. Leeds are open to his departure for a nominal fee that would cover their contractual obligations, whereas Besiktas are hoping to sign Meslier on a free transfer. Despite this, positive talks have been held this week. Reports in the Turkish press on Wednesday stated that there was confidence a deal would still be done, and that Besiktas is now awaiting approval from England to finalise the transfer.

Besiktas are close to an agreement for Illan Meslier and, according to Sabah, are now eagerly awaiting approval from England to finalize the transfer.

Beşiktaş have met with Illan Meslier's representatives to discuss the player's financial demands regarding an immediate move to Istanbul. The Turkish club wants to sign a new goalkeeper and can pursue the transfer now as their country's window remains open. It is reported that Leeds are willing to let the 25-year-old French goalkeeper leave for a nominal fee, as his contract at Elland Road is due to expire in less than five months. According to sources, Beşiktaş turned their attention to Meslier, who joined Leeds in July 2020 and has 13 caps for France U21 but has not made a senior appearance since last March, only after Leeds rejected their enquiry for teammate Lucas Perri last week. Other clubs from Italy, France, and Scotland, including Lorient, Celtic, and Inter Milan, are also interested in signing Meslier, but would have to wait until he becomes a free agent in the summer. His current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
