Besiktas have opened talks with Sassuolo over the potential transfer of Armand Lauriente, who currently plays as a forward. According to multiple reliable reports, negotiations are active and ongoing after an opening bid was submitted, though there is reportedly still some distance between the clubs on valuation. However, discussions are said to remain open and constructive - as both sides explore whether there is a deal to be done. Napoli may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. At 1.88 goals scored per game this season, Besiktas already pose a big threat. Armand Lauriente would be expected to maintain that level and give them another reliable option in attack. Besiktas have recently been linked with Augusto Batalla and Leandro Trossard while Sassuolo have had no rumoured targets. Looking for Besiktas transfer rumours?
