Besiktas in talks to sign Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock

Besiktas is reportedly in discussions to sign Joe Willock from Newcastle United as the midfielder enters the final year of his contract. Newcastle has decided against offering Willock a new deal, making a transfer possible before the window closes. Speculation grew following Willock's strong preseason performances, including a goal and a penalty in a match against Darlington. While Willock prefers to remain at Newcastle and compete for his place, the club is open to considering offers for squad players. The transfer fee has not been disclosed, but his current market value is noted to be around €14 million.
