Beşiktaş has become interested in Albanian defensive midfielder Kristjan Asllani after negotiations for Salih Özcan stopped due to his agent's demands for a €4 million salary and a signing bonus. Asllani, who is on loan at Torino from his parent club Inter, is reportedly looking for a new team because he has not found the desired environment there. The 23-year-old player is reportedly open to a move to Beşiktaş, and the two parties have started discussions to reach an agreement after the club inquired about the financial conditions of a potential transfer. Genoa from Italy and Girona from Spain are also reportedly interested in Asllani. The midfielder has 38 caps and 5 goals for Albania and has made 15 league appearances for Torino this season. His contract with Inter Milan is valid until June 2028. According to reports from the summer of 2025, Inter's asking price was between €16-20 million. His loan to Torino includes a purchase option with a reported value of €12 million.
