Besiktas press on with Dodi Lukebakio move amid Rangers bid for Vaclav Cerny | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Besiktas remain in talks with Benfica over Dodi Lukebakio, with a deal discussed at around 20 million euros.

Rangers have tabled an eight million euros offer for Cerny, though Besiktas value the 28-year-old at 10 million, leaving a two million gap.

Besiktas have identified Lukebakio as the principal target to replace the Czech international should that transfer progress. Negotiations with Benfica are ongoing, with both sides aiming to find agreement in the coming days.

That level could prompt Benfica to let the Belgium international leave this window. He is under contract until June 2030, and has 33 caps for Belgium.

Lukebakio scored one goal in 33 appearances for Benfica last season.

This term he has played five matches, starting once. He scored against Hearts in a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the third qualifying round, and provided an assist in a 5-0 win over St Gallen.
