Nicolas Raskin to Beşiktaş

This move fell through. Last report: Football Insider, 27 October 2026.

The move is dead for now. Beşiktaş spent late August and early September pushing hard for Nicolas Raskin, first with a loan proposal, then with a loan-to-buy structure, and finally with a straight €12m offer.
