Wout Faes, currently with Leicester City, is being targeted by Besiktas. The Turkish club is in search of a new central defender and has placed Faes on their list of potential candidates. Besiktas has started talks with Leicester City and Faes' agents. Interest from Saudi Arabia was previously noted, but it is no longer viable. Faes is under contract with Leicester City until 2027, with a market value of approximately 15 million euros. Besiktas is also considering Danilho Doekhi from Union Berlin as another option for the central defender role. Faes, who has been capped 28 times for Belgium, is keen to continue playing at a high level in preparation for the 2026 World Cup, especially following Leicester City's drop to the Championship. The move to Besiktas has been gaining traction and is considered surprising, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
