Besiktas convinced they can sign Benfica match-winner for under €20m | OneFootball

Benfica could once again face interest from Turkish football in this transfer window, with Besiktas placing one of the Eagles' wingers on its priority list. The Istanbul club is looking to strengthen its options on the right side of the attack and has reportedly already begun talks with a view to a possible transfer.

Talks are already underway between the two parties, with the Turkish side also in contact with the player himself. The aim is to find a financial solution that will allow Besiktas to complete the signing of Lukebakio without reaching the €20 million Benfica paid Sevilla.

Lukebakio arrived at the Luz with the expectation of adding pace, one-on-one ability and experience to the Eagles' attack, but he has not yet shown much impact, despite his recent goal against Hearts.

It is worth remembering that the Belgian winger said he wants to stay at the Luz. "What I can say is that it is normal, the media are always talking and trying to get players to say they are going to leave, that the coach is not counting on them. None of this is true. I remain focused, of course I would like to stay at Benfica, of course I am going to stay, but I do not try to listen to what the media say, I try to do my best", he said after the Europa League match.
