Besiktas has started 2026 in fifth place after a first half of the season that yielded 29 points from eight wins.
The Turkish team, which claimed the Super Lig title in the 2020-21 season, has scored 14 goals so far, with Tammy Abraham leading the team with seven goals.
January could bring a chance for the team to enhance its squad and climb the league table.
One possible target is Altay Bayindir, the Manchester United goalkeeper, who has been linked with Besiktas ahead of the transfer window.
The team is also interested in Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, with reports suggesting they have reached out to discuss a potential January transfer.
Mainoo, who developed in the Manchester United youth system, has played just eleven Premier League matches this season.
In comparison, he featured in 25 league games last season, showing a decrease in playing time during the first half of this term.
There are rumors of Mainoo considering moves away from the club, including a potential transfer to Serie A champions Napoli, which has been named as his preferred destination.
This could complicate Besiktas’ pursuit of Mainoo.
Additionally, given Manchester United’s injury struggles, the club might prefer to retain Mainoo. The outcome of this situation remains uncertain.
