Beşiktaş eyes Mithat Pala as Trabzonspor negotiates Batista Mendy transfer

Beşiktaş is accelerating talks to sign midfielder Mithat Pala from Çaykur Rizespor. The club is weighing a transfer fee of around €4‑5 million and has considered including a player swap, with either Kartal Kayra Yılmaz or Amir Hadžiahmetović moving to Rizespor. Rizespor prefers a direct cash deal but remains open to negotiations.

Meanwhile, Trabzonspor is preparing for the possible departure of French midfielder Batista Mendy. The club expects a €3‑4 million fee and is waiting for a formal offer that meets its financial targets. Proceeds from the sale are intended to fund new signings as the team reshapes its squad ahead of the upcoming season.
