Junior Olaitan has attracted attention since joining Besiktas. According to Turkish media outlet Türkiye Gazetesi, his agent is said to have told the Istanbul club’s directors that he could present them with offers ranging from €30 million to €35 million as early as the winter transfer window.

Olaitan’s agent mentions potential offers

According to Türkiye Gazetesi, the representative of Junior Olaitan is reportedly in contact with several major clubs in Germany and England. During discussions with Beşiktaş officials, he allegedly said: « If you wish, I can bring you offers ranging from €30 million to €35 million at mid-season. »

For its part, the Besiktas board is reportedly satisfied with the Beninese player’s performances and would prefer to wait until the end of the season to assess the transfer possibilities. Under contract until 2029, Junior Olaitan therefore remains tied to the Turkish club.

A potential sale that could bring in a substantial sum

Having arrived from Göztepe for €5 million, Olaitan has provided six assists in 13 official matches for Beşiktaş this season. His performances for the Istanbul club and the Benin national team are said to have helped attract the attention of foreign clubs.

A sale worth more than €30 million would represent a major financial operation for Besiktas. However, the club will have to take into account a clause providing for 20% of the amount of any future resale to be paid to Göztepe.

Our analysis

The reported interest from English and German clubs reflects Junior Olaitan’s growing profile. For the Istanbul club, the decision will depend on the reality of the offers, their value and the sporting importance of the former Ayéma FC player for the remainder of the season.

This case should therefore be followed with caution. The figures of €30 million to €35 million have been put forward by his agent, according to Turkish media. The next step will be to determine whether the agent can actually present concrete offers and whether they meet Besiktas’ expectations.
