Besiktas eyeing move for Dedryck Boyata as Vida replacement

Beskitas are reportedly eyeing up a swoop for Celtic star Dedyrck Boyata in the January transfer window.

The Turkish side are reportedly ready to make a move if Croatian star Domagoj Vida leaves the side, with Boyata being lined up as his replacement.

Besiktas aren’t the only side interested in Boyata, according to the Scotsman, with Saudi Arabian side Al-Itthad also interested in a swoop for the Belgian.

The Belgian is entering the final year of his deal at Celtic, and is looking very likely to leave Parkhead.

Boyata was linked with a move away from the club in the Summer, but no move was finalised before the end of the transfer window.

However, with teams circling over a potential €10 million swoop for the defender, with Celtic potentially looking to cash in before his deal expires.

Other clubs are free to talk to Boyata in January, so Celtic could have a fight on their hands to keep the defender in Glasgow.
