The future of Wilfred Ndidi at Besiktas could have a major influence on the club's midfield plans ahead of the new season, with the Turkish giants reportedly expecting a significant fee for the Super Eagles captain.
Besiktas, who are preparing for the upcoming campaign under new manager Vincenzo Italiano, are working on strengthening several areas of their squad.
Midfield remains one of the key positions Besiktas are looking to address, but their plans could depend on whether Ndidi remains at the club.
According to NTVSpor, the Beşiktaş hierarchy is believed to be seeking a transfer fee of €15 million, which is around N23.4 billion, for Ndidi.
The midfielder joined the club for €8 million, meaning a sale at their asking price would represent a significant profit.
Should Ndidi leave for the expected fee, Beşiktaş are prepared to reinvest the money in Genoa's Denmark international midfielder Morten Frendrup as his replacement.
The former Leicester City ace is on the radar of clubs based in the Gulf, and the Beşiktaş management has begun the process of evaluating these offers.
In his maiden season in Turkey, Ndidi appeared in 31 competitive matches, scoring twice and providing an assist.
