Strong interest from Türkiye for Ardian Ismajli (27 years old, pictured), defender currently playing for Empoli, coming off a good season during which he stood out for his good performances and for having been able to rejoice together with his teammates and mister Nicola for having achieved a historic salvation for the Tuscan club.
According to what Tuttomercatoweb has learned, contact is expected in the next few hours between the directors of Empoli and emissaries of Besiktas, who have the objective of bringing the central defender born in 1996 with dual Albanian and Kosovar citizenship to Turkey (at national level he represents the former, with whom he took part in Euro 2024 despite never taking to the field).
Empoli considers Ismajli an integral part and a solid foundation for their future squad, but in the face of a suitable offer they are considering letting him go. Developments are expected in the next few hours, remembering that in January they also came forward from Russia, in particular there was Dinamo Moscow, but Ismajli promptly rejected the offer. Tied to Empoli by a contract expiring in 2025, last season he made 26 appearances in Serie A. In recent weeks rumors about Napoli had emerged, but the rumors were not followed up on.
