Beşiktaş have identified Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu as one of four key signings they hope to wrap up this summer, according to Fanatik.
The Turkish giants are reportedly working to complete moves for Onuachu, Ansu Fati, Patrick Berg, and Samuel Dahl as they look to rebuild for next season.
Onuachu, 29, joined Southampton from Genk for €18 million in January 2023 but has struggled for form in England. After a difficult first few months, he was sent on loan to Trabzonspor in September, where he rediscovered his goalscoring touch — netting 17 goals and adding 4 assists in 26 games across all competitions.
His impressive form in the Turkish Super Lig reignited interest from clubs in the country. Beşiktaş were linked with him both last summer and during the January transfer window, but a move didn’t materialise.

Now, with Southampton relegated from the Premier League and looking to reduce their wage bill, a permanent exit could be back on the table. Onuachu still has two years left on his deal, and although the Saints reportedly valued him at €15 million last summer, a lower fee might now be accepted.
There’s also interest from other markets. At his age, a big-money move from the Saudi Pro League could be tempting if it comes.
Still, Beşiktaş are pushing to move quickly, hoping to get ahead of the competition and add proven firepower to their frontline ahead of the new season.
