There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Southampton and Sheffield are still interested signing Besiktas attacking midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The former Liverpool player has been linked with a move back to England this summer after failing to make a real impact during his debut season in Istanbul.
Tavkim today report Besiktas are still trying to offload Oxlade-Chamberlain as they look to get him off their wage bill. The 30-year-old arrived on a free transfer 12 months ago and his salary is seen as an issue for the Black Eagles.
Subsequently, Besiktas are holding termination talks with the player and his exit now looks a strong possibility.
It’s claimed if Besiktas decide to part ways with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Southampton and Sheffield United will come in with an offer. Presumably that offer would be to the player if Besiktas can secure a termination.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made 30 appearances for Besiktas last season, scoring 4 goals, during an injury hit campaign. He’s contracted to the Super Lig club until June 2026, and they’d like to say goodbye.
