Aston Villa have offered €10m for Besiktas midfielder Ernest Muci according to Fanatik.

Per the source, Villa has offered €10 million for Muci, who has struggled to find regular playing time under manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

Last season, the 23-year-old Albanian international managed 17 appearances and 4 goals for Beşiktaş last season.

Muci haș played just two minutes of first team football this season for the Black-Whites but does have three years remaining on his contract.

It’s worth noting that Beşiktaş acquired Muci themselves for €10 million during the previous winter transfer window.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Kholood has reportedly tabled an official offer for Beşiktaş striker Jackson Muleka. Excluded from the squad in the recent match against Antalyaspor, Muleka seems poised for a transfer soon.

While the potential departure of Muleka is a development to watch, Beşiktaş are actively seeking reinforcements.

With Muleka potentially leaving and interest surrounding Muci, Beşiktaş’ transfer strategy remains intriguing. It will be interesting to see if the club accepts Villa’s reported offer, and who they might target as potential replacements.

The Black Eagles have secured two wins from two matches in the Super Lig and continue to bolster their squad. Their transfer activity includes potential departures as well.
