Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano favors Tiago Djalo over Agbadou

Beşiktaş manager Vincenzo Italiano has established Tiago Djalo as his preferred starting center-back, prioritizing the Portuguese defender over Emmanuel Agbadou, who was signed for 18 million euros. Italiano's tactical preference is driven by Djalo's athleticism, ability to defend large spaces in a high-line system, and technical proficiency in ball distribution, stemming from his past experience as a defensive midfielder.

Meanwhile, discussions regarding Romelu Lukaku's potential transfer to Turkish Süper Lig clubs like Beşiktaş, Trabzonspor, and Fenerbahçe have drawn criticism from fans. Following reports that Atlanta United withdrew from interest due to health concerns, Italian media have heavily linked the Napoli striker to Turkey. Fans have expressed skepticism regarding the Belgian forward due to his history of chronic injuries and weight management issues.
