Beşiktaş JK is exploring the possibility of signing Darlin Yongwa to bolster their defensive line. The 25-year-old left-back currently plays for FC Lorient, where his contract situation is drawing attention: his deal runs until June 2026, but an extension appears unlikely.

According to Africa Foot, Beşiktaş has already reached out to the player's representatives. Last winter, Trabzonspor was also in the mix. Interest from clubs in France and Germany has been mentioned, but no concrete moves have been made yet.

The Cameroon international (8 caps, 1 goal) has made 18 Ligue 1 appearances this season, providing one assist. Valued at around 4 million euros, he could be an affordable and strategic signing for the Istanbul club.
