Besiktas have established contact with Manchester United's Mason Greenwood, with discussions indicating that a transfer might be in the process.
While still bound by his contract at United, both Greenwood and the club's management have reached a consensus that he should pursue opportunities elsewhere, especially after his charges for assault allegations were dropped in February.
The possibility of a move beyond the UK seems likely, and reports suggest that Besiktas are actively engaged in transfer discussions. A source mentioned, "Certainly, Besiktas have taken notice of the discussions taking place in the UK and beyond."
While some might perceive Turkey as an escape from the limelight for Greenwood, the reality is more nuanced. The source acknowledged, "People might assume that Turkey offers an easy path for Greenwood to continue his career away from public scrutiny. However, clubs understand it doesn't work that way." They anticipate that media attention from England will follow Greenwood regardless of his destination.
Considering the situation, a short-term loan arrangement holds appeal. This structure provides a safety net – should circumstances turn unfavorable, a swift return to Manchester could be arranged. The source pointed out, "Opting for a brief loan makes sense. If things don't go as planned, he can quickly return to Manchester." On the other hand, a strong start and successful goal-scoring stint in Istanbul could quickly shift sentiments. "Football operates in such a manner – if he starts performing well and scoring goals in Istanbul, any initial negativity will likely dissipate," the source explained.
