According to reports in Turkey, Vaclav Cerny could make an unexpected return to the club. Besiktas must comply with the new Super Lig rule that caps the number of overseas players in squads. Milliyet reports that speculation about Cerny's future has increased, but that Besiktas manager Vincenzo Italiano strongly wants to keep him.

Czech Republic international Vaclav Cerny, a 28-year-old winger, was unhappy at Besiktas and was looking for a new club. Cerny wanted to leave Besiktas during the mid-season transfer period, but the Board of Directors did not permit it. Through his manager, Cerny conveyed to the Board of Directors that he wanted to leave at the end of the season. Besiktas released a statement describing these reports as entirely baseless and a product of imagination. Cerny, who has 30 caps and 8 goals for his country, has a contract with the club until June 30, 2028. This season, he has scored 6 goals and provided 1 assist in 4 Süper Lig appearances. His market value is estimated to be €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
