Beşiktaş Targets Fatawu and Orsolini for Right Wing After Italiano Appointment
Beşiktaş has highlighted two names for the right wing transfer in its new season planning. Abdul Fatawu and Riccardo Orsolini are among the candidates on the black-and-white club's list.
As Beşiktaş accelerates its squad restructuring for the new season, the transfer list has started to take shape following the appointment of Vincenzo Italiano as head coach. The management and technical staff of the black-and-white club have agreed on the need to strengthen multiple positions initially to reinforce the squad.
Priority areas in the planning include goalkeeper, left center-back, left-back, central midfield, left wing, and striker positions. Alongside this broad list, two notable names have emerged for the right wing position.
Fatawu's Move to England
It has been reported that Beşiktaş has turned its focus to England in search of a right winger who fits within the Turkish Football Federation's +4 young foreign player quota for clubs. Abdul Fatawu, a 22-year-old who plays for Leicester City, is considered one of the prominent candidates for this position.
The Ghanaian player appeared in 44 official matches for Leicester City last season, scoring 9 goals and providing 8 assists, drawing attention with his performance.
His market value is estimated at around 20 million euros, and his contract with Leicester City runs until June 30, 2029. Fatawu has also played 28 matches for the Ghana national team, scoring 3 goals, and has been included in the 2026 World Cup squad.
Orsolini's Link to Italiano
Another strong candidate for the right wing on the table is Riccardo Orsolini. Beşiktaş is reportedly preparing to initiate talks for the 29-year-old Italian player who previously worked with Vincenzo Italiano at Bologna.
Orsolini, who has only one year left on his contract with Serie A club Bologna, is expected to have his transfer finalized soon. The club aims to leverage the advantage of having the coach's connection to expedite this process.
It was also highlighted that Italiano plans to meet directly with Orsolini in the coming days to persuade him to move to Turkey. Last season, Orsolini scored 14 goals and made 1 assist in 51 official matches for Bologna.
Beşiktaş's transfer efforts are not limited to the right wing. However, the current approach shows a squad-building strategy focused on players who fit the new technical staff's game plan.
