Carl Medjani a Target for Besiktas Following Impressive Season at Trabzonspor
Algerian defender Carl Medjani has been one of the standout performers in Turkey’s Süper Lig this season, drawing attention with his solid defensive displays and five goals for Trabzonspor. The 34-year-old, a regular starter and a key figure in coach Halilhodzic’s setup, has shown that he remains a crucial part of the squad despite his experience.
According to Turkish daily Fotospor, Medjani’s impressive form has caught the eye of Besiktas, one of the top clubs in the Süper Lig, who are reportedly looking to sign him ahead of the 2022-2023 season. The Istanbul-based club had previously shown interest in Medjani last year but he opted to stay at Trabzonspor under the guidance of Halilhodzic. However, Besiktas is now prepared to make a serious move, potentially securing the veteran defender as part of their plans for next season.
Besiktas is on track to qualify for European competition, which is expected to be a significant draw for Medjani, who has played at the highest level with both club and country. His experience and leadership qualities could be invaluable to a team with European ambitions.
The prospect of European football next season adds an extra layer of allure to Besiktas’ bid, with Medjani’s potential signing offering them both depth and experience at the back. As the season progresses, the outcome of Trabzonspor’s campaign and Besiktas’ qualification will likely play a pivotal role in determining whether Medjani makes the switch to the Turkish giants.
