Besiktas issue Vlahovic ultimatum as patience wears thin | OneFootball

Besiktas are losing patience in their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic and are preparing to set the striker a deadline to make his decision.

According to Medya Siyah Beyaz, the Turkish club’s management has become unhappy with the Serbian’s conduct throughout the transfer process.

Besiktas view Vlahovic, a free agent since his Juventus contract expired, as an opportunity signing, but the drawn-out wait for an answer has caused growing irritation behind the scenes, with the delay complicating the club’s wider planning.

Vlahovic’s wait for European offers angers Besiktas

A particular source of frustration, the report claims, has been the suggestion in the Italian press that Vlahovic and his representatives are holding out for offers from Europe’s bigger clubs.

Those noises are said to have unsettled the Besiktas hierarchy, president Serdal Adalı among them, as the Istanbul side juggle their pursuit with a Europa League second qualifying round tie against Midtjylland.

The club’s response, per the source, will be to meet the player’s camp again in the coming days and communicate a validity period on their offer.

Should no positive answer arrive within that window, Besiktas are prepared to close the Vlahovic file entirely and turn to alternative striker targets, keen to resolve their search quickly with both Super Lig and European commitments in mind.
