Besiktas ‘to offer’ loan for Dodi Lukebakio, with David Neres as Plan B | OneFootball

Besiktas are pushing to sign Dodi Lukebakio as their priority wide player, turning to Lisbon after completing the high-profile arrival of Dusan Vlahovic.

Turkish media report the club plan to propose a loan worth three million euros with a 17 million option to buy, taking the package to 20 million. That would match what Benfica paid to sign the Belgian international from Sevilla in summer 2025.

A right-sided winger is now high on Besiktas' list, alongside a centre-back. Lukebakio is the leading option for the flank, having impressed in Turkish football previously.

His possible departure is notable given he has publicly said he wants to stay at Benfica. The 28-year-old has three appearances, one goal and one assist so far this season under Marco Silva.

If they fail to land Lukebakio, Besiktas have lined up an alternative. According to Fanatik, their Plan B is David Neres, the former Benfica winger now at Napoli, and president Serdal Adali has contacted Aurelio De Laurentiis to gauge the terms of a potential deal.
