Besiktas in advanced talks to bring Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond

There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Nathan Redmond in the last period.

According to multiple reports emanating from Turkey, Besiktas are in advanced talks to bring Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond.

The England international joined Southampton from Norwich City for a fee in the region of 13.5 million euros in Julyn 2016. His contract expires in the summer of 2023.

The midfielder has featured in only one match for Southampton this term in all competitions.

It is evident that Southampton manager does not see him as a key part of his plans and Redmond will now be allowed to leave.

Valerien Ismael is keen to secure at least one more signing this summer, and Redmond could very well be a man under consideration. He is a firm fan of Southampton midfielder and Besiktas could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.

The former Norwich City man will offer the Besiktas boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

According to the report, “Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond is interesting Besiktas. With the Turkish summer market closing this week, Besiktas are seeking a new midfield addition. Fanatik says Redmond is on their radar, with Southampton encouraging the veteran to consider the offer. Besiktas are offering to take Redmond on-loan with the option of a permanent deal when his Saints deal expires in June. And Redmond is now seriously considering the offer.”

The Turkish giants will have to come up with the right proposal to convince Redmond to join the club.

Southampton will be ready to part ways with the midfielder should the right offer arrives.

Good signing for Besiktas?

If Besiktas and Ismael are seriously considering a midfielder, Redmond could also prove to be a smart option.

A move away from Southampton will not be only the best move for Redmond, but also for the club.

It will be interesting to see if Besiktas make their move for the 28-year-old in the coming days.
