Maxence Caqueret to Beşiktaş
Quiet since 2 September 2026. Last report: Gianluigi Longari. Probability when it went quiet: 12%.
Beşiktaş have made contact with Maxence Caqueret's representatives, opening early talks over a move that would take the French midfielder from Como to the Super Lig. Nothing has advanced beyond that initial approach. Como signed Caqueret only last year and tied him to a contract running until 2029, which hands them full control of the situation and no urgency to sell. The story so far rests on one name: Gianluigi Longari, a reporter with a solid track record on Italian and Turkish football business. His post confirms contact between Beşiktaş and the player's camp, tagging a Turkish journalist alongside it, but no second source has followed up yet. That leaves this as a single credible line rather than a story with broad corroboration. The chance of this actually happening looks slim for now. Beşiktaş are still at the exploratory stage, feeling out whether a deal is even possible, and Como have no pressing reason to negotiate given the length of contract they hold. For this to move forward, Beşiktaş would need to table a concrete proposal within the €13m to €18m range being floated, and Como would need a reason to consider a sale despite having no financial pressure to do so. Como paid €15m to sign Caqueret from Lyon in 2025, so a fee in the discussed range would represent a modest loss or breakeven for the Italian side. Como have also shown willingness to sell others this year, including deals to Olympiacos for €8m, Freiburg for €7m and Monza for €4m in 2026, suggesting they are not averse to trading players when the price suits them. Watch for whether Beşiktaş follow up th
