Besiktas steps up chase for Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku

Besiktas is moving with quiet determination as it looks to bring Alexander Djiku to Istanbul on a permanent deal.

The 31-year-old Ghanaian centre-back, currently with Fenerbahçe, has caught the attention of Besiktas officials who believe his presence could add strength and leadership to their backline.

Behind closed doors, the Black Eagles club leaders are working tirelessly to shape a squad capable of handling the long and demanding season. Djiku’s ability to read the game, his versatility across defensive roles, and his calmness under pressure make him an attractive choice for the Black Eagles, who are eager to reinforce their ranks.

Interest in Djiku is not limited to Turkey. Russian giants Spartak Moscow are also pushing to secure his signature on a permanent deal, while Portuguese side Braga and Italian club Fiorentina are said to prefer loan arrangements with an option to buy.

Djiku’s contract with Fenerbahçe runs until 2026, and his market value has been estimated by Transfermarkt at €6.5 million.
