The Turkish giants are reportedly eyeing Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu as a key addition to their squad during the January transfer window, as per 61saat.com.
Onuachu, who impressed at Trabzonspor last season with 17 goals in 25 appearances, is currently with Southampton but has struggled to make an impact, failing to score in seven matches this season.
The Istanbul club has offered Onuachu a three-year deal, signaling their intent to bring the prolific striker back to the Süper Lig. However, challenges loom. Southampton has set a €13 million price tag, which could prove difficult for Beşiktaş to meet. Moreover,
Onuachu previously stated his preference to play for Trabzonspor if he returns to Turkey, adding another layer of complexity to the negotiations. According to Transfermarkt, the player’s current value is estimated at €11 million.

As talks continue, Turkish football fans are closely following this potential blockbuster transfer, which could reshape the Süper Lig’s competitive landscape. All eyes are on Beşiktaş to see if they can pull off one of the most exciting deals of the winter window.
