According to A Spor, Besiktas are ready to table an offer to sign highly-rated Brighton & Hove Albion youngster Tudor Baluta.
The Premier League side signed the 20 year old midfielder from Viitorul during the last transfer window and then sent him back on loan to the Romanian club until the end of the season.
It’s claimed the Romania international has been on the radar of Besiktas and the Turkish club are ready to make a loan offer to Brighton to sign the player this summer.
Baluta is seen as a successor to Atiba Hutchinson, who’s likely to retire at the end of the season. A Spor say the Istanbul club are hopeful of reaching an agreement with Brighton.
A Spor report Viitorul manager Gheorghe Hagi wanted Baluta to sign for Galatasaray during the last winter window but Brighton acted quickly and signed the player.
Baluta has played 27 games for Viitorul this season and scored 2 goals. The youngster is under contract with Brighton until June 2022.
