Besiktas eye Vasco star, full-back could be sold for up to R$45 million | OneFootball

Out of the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil due to a knee injury, Lucas Piton remains valued in the European market. The Vasco left-back has caught the attention of Besiktas from Turkey, which is considering making a formal offer for the number 6 of the cross-maltese team. The information was released by the Turkish Transfermarkt team.

According to the platform specialized in the soccer market, the estimated value of the player is around 7 million euros, approximately R$ 45 million. Besides the interest from the Turkish club, Vasco's management expects new inquiries for the athlete, considered one of the main names in the squad.

Despite dealing with two injuries throughout the season, Piton was a starter for most of the year and had a direct involvement in goals. In total, he played 55 matches, scored one goal, and provided 11 assists, numbers that reinforce his offensive importance.

Even amid the team's fluctuations, the left-back is a key player in Fernando Diniz's scheme. A large part of Vasco's offensive build-up goes through the left side of the field, with frequent triangulations between Piton, Nuno Moreira, and Philippe Coutinho.

Puma Rodríguez has been called upon for the role when necessary, even though he plays outside his original position. If Lucas Piton's sale is finalized, Vasco will likely enter the market in search of a suitable replacement for the left-back position.
