Cajuste’s potential arrival is part of this strategy to add quality and depth in midfield ahead of a busy season in both domestic and European competitions.

WHAT NEXT FOR BOTH CLUBS?

Once the details are finalized, Cajuste is expected to travel to Istanbul for his medical and to complete the deal. Besiktas will play their next league match against Alanyaspor. They currently sit fourth, just three points behind third-placed Trabzonspor.

Napoli, after finishing outside the Serie A Champions League spots last season, opens their new campaign against Sassuolo as they look to rebuild under Conte and challenge for a top-four place.

For Cajuste, the move represents a fresh start and a chance to become a regular starter at a club pushing for trophies and European progress.
