News details

Beşiktaş entered the 2026-2027 season with an ambitious squad following their moves in the summer transfer window. The Black-and-White football team added 10 players to their squad while parting ways with 21.

Starting the new season under Italian manager Vincenzo Italiano, Beşiktaş strengthened their squad with key additions such as Alexander Nübel, Salih Özcan, Leandro Trossard, and Dusan Vlahovic.

During this period, the Black-and-Whites also bid farewell to players not in their plans.

Beşiktaş signed 10 players during the summer transfer window. In the recently concluded first transfer and registration period, the Black-and-Whites added Kassoum Ouattara, İlhan Fakılı, Doğan Alemdar, Alexander Nübel, Salih Özcan, Leandro Trossard, Dusan Vlahovic, Ernest Poku, Fabio Miretti, and Ümit Akdağ to their roster. During the period in question, Beşiktaş transferred 3 wingers, 2 goalkeepers, 2 midfielders, 1 centre-back, 1 striker, and 1 left-back.

Beşiktaş parted ways with 21 players during the 2026-2027 summer transfer window. Felix Uduokhai, Gökhan Sazdağı, Ersin Destanoğlu, Salih Uçan, Emrecan Terzi, Emre Bilgin, Göktuğ Baytekin, Tayyip Talha Sanuç, Yakup Arda Kılıç, Doruk Tuğrul, and Emrecan Uzunhan left the Black-and-White team on permanent transfers.

The contracts of Moatasem Al-Musrati, Amir Hadziahmetovic, Jean Onana, and Joao Mario were terminated at Beşiktaş. Meanwhile, Elan Ricardo, Devrim Şahin, Fahri Kerem Ay, Asım Efe Işık, and Cumali Gürsel were sent out on loan to different teams, while Necip Uysal retired from professional football.

The transfers of Alexander Nübel, Leandro Trossard, and Dusan Vlahovic, whom Beşiktaş signed during this period, brought great joy to the Black-and-White fans.

By convincing German goalkeeper Nübel after a long pursuit, Beşiktaş secured their goal for the future. Trossard, who featured for Arsenal in the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League final, subsequently competed for his country Belgium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Black-and-Whites' €18 million addition of Trossard delighted the fans. Beşiktaş also targeted high-profile names up front. Having been in constant communication with Dusan Vlahovic—who was parting ways with Juventus at the top of their shortlist—and awaiting the player's decision, the Black-and-Whites gained attacking strength once the Serbian striker accepted the offer. Vlahovic proved this with a hat-trick in the match against Çorum FK.

Beşiktaş generally targeted younger players during the summer transfer window. President Serdal Adalı's firm stance against older players defined the team's transfer roadmap. The youngest player added to the Black-and-White squad during this process was İlhan Fakılı (20), while the oldest was Leandro Trossard (31).
