Beşiktaş has targeted German midfielder Leon Goretzka as part of a transfer strategy for manager Vincenzo Italiano. The player, born in 1995, is a free agent because Bayern Munich did not renew his contract after an eight-season tenure. The club has made initial inquiries for Goretzka. The deal is considered complex, primarily due to the player's financial demands, and it is reported that Beşiktaş wants to understand his salary expectations before making a formal offer. Goretzka, who has 73 caps and 15 goals for Germany, has also been linked with clubs such as Juventus and FC Barcelona. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €12.00m.
