Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Told to Leave Besiktas as Part of Brutal Clearout
In a shocking turn of events, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been told to leave Besiktas as part of a massive squad overhaul. The 30-year-old midfielder has been struggling to find his footing in Turkey, making just 30 appearances in all competitions since joining the club last summer.
According to reports, Oxlade-Chamberlain has been offered to British clubs, with several teams monitoring his situation. A loan move would be the most likely outcome, with potential suitors needing to cover the majority of his £70,000-a-week wages.
This news comes as no surprise, given Besiktas’ struggles on the pitch. The club has been plagued by inconsistency and poor results, leading to a mass exodus of players. Arthur Masuaku, Daniel Amartey, Ante Rebic, and Vincent Aboubakar are all up for grabs, as are Jean Onana, Valentin Rosier, Omar Colley, Javi Montero, and Ersin Destanoglu.
Oxlade-Chamberlain’s departure would be a significant blow to Besiktas, but it’s hard to see him staying given his lack of playing time. The former Liverpool and Arsenal man has struggled with injuries throughout his career, and it’s clear that he needs a fresh start.
The 30-year-old has had a storied career, making his debut for Southampton at just 16 years old. He went on to sign for Arsenal in a £15 million deal, playing 198 times across six seasons before joining Liverpool for £35 million. Although he struggled with injuries at Anfield, Oxlade-Chamberlain did win several major honors, including the Premier League, Champions League, Carabao Cup, and Club World Cup.
As Besiktas looks to rebuild, Oxlade-Chamberlain will be hoping to find a new home where he can get regular playing time and help his new team achieve success. Will he find a new club soon? Only time will tell.
