Besiktas keep pushing for Lukebakio, offer Benfica new solution | OneFootball

After securing the high-profile signing of Dusan Vlahovic, Besiktas now appears to have turned its attention to Lisbon. The Turkish club is interested in Dodi Lukebakio and has reportedly already outlined an offer to try to convince Benfica to let the Belgian international leave.

According to the Turkish press, the Black Eagles are preparing to move forward with a loan offer worth three million euros, accompanied by a purchase option set at 17 million euros. The deal could therefore reach 20 million euros, exactly the amount Benfica invested to sign the winger from Sevilla in the summer of 2025.

Signing a right winger has now become one of Besiktas’ priorities, with the club also looking to strengthen the heart of the defense. In that sense, Lukebakio has emerged as the main target for the position, as the player has previously shone in Turkish football.

The possible departure of the No. 11 shirt is particularly interesting given that the player remains tied to Benfica’s future, despite having already publicly expressed his intention to stay at the Luz. At 28, Lukebakio has made three appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist at the start of the season under Marco Silva.

If they fail to secure the Belgian winger, Besiktas has already lined up a luxury alternative. According to Fanatik, Plan B is David Neres, the former Benfica player who currently plays for Napoli. The president of the Turkish club, Serdal Adali, has reportedly even contacted Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of the Italian side, to find out the conditions of a possible transfer for the Brazilian.
