Besiktas want Félix Correia as Rafa Silva replacement | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Besiktas are pursuing Félix Correia as a priority target and have opened talks with Lille as they look to replace Rafa Silva, who has joined Benfica.

A loan is the preferred route, with Lille unwilling to sell one of their most valuable assets at a low price. The winger has been dealing with sensitive personal matters, which could weigh on the decision.

Benfica previously made an initial move for Correia, holding exploratory talks in the last summer window, but demands from Gil Vicente deterred a deal.

In Türkiye, the Rafa Silva saga continues. Besiktas head coach Sergen Yalcin has again addressed recent controversy and criticised the former Portugal international for refusing to play for the club.

In 2025/2026, Correia, valued at 10 million euros, featured in 30 matches, 20 in Ligue 1, eight in the Europa League and two in the French Cup. Across 1,820 minutes he scored four goals and supplied five assists.
