According to A Bola, Besiktas has not yet formalized its intention to sign Vangelis Pavlidis from Benfica but has significantly increased the amounts offered in its initial approaches. The report states that after an initial offer of 20 million euros, which was then raised to 35 million, the latest information suggests Besiktas might make a proposal of approximately 40 million euros. This amount would be a fixed sum and would not include performance bonuses. The formalization of negotiations is contingent on Besiktas's offer approaching Benfica's asking price, which is approximately 50 million euros. Orkun Kokçu is encouraging Pavlidis to move to Istanbul. Pavlidis, who has a release clause of 100 million euros, admits the possibility of a departure in the summer transfer window. While Pavlidis does not plan to force a transfer and is happy at Benfica, he continues to have a dream of playing in the Premier League, and the salary offered by Besiktas could be difficult to reject.
