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.
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.
