Truth behind Igoh Ogbu’s rumored Besiktas summer transfer

Posted : 27 May 2025

Igoh Ogbu, recently called up to the Super Eagles for the upcoming international matches in May and June, is not expected to join Turkish powerhouse Besiktas during the summer transfer window.


Rumors have circulated suggesting that Besiktas are interested in signing the Slavia Prague defender after his impressive performances in the Czech league, where he has emerged as a key figure for the reigning champions.


However, these claims linking Ogbu to Besiktas have been found to be baseless, with no official talks or negotiations underway between the parties for a transfer this summer.


The speculation may have originated from Ogbu’s agent, who also handled Odion Ighalo’s transfer to Manchester United during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure as coach, creating a perceived connection to Besiktas, whose coach has ties to Solskjaer.


Ogbu recently dispelled any doubts about his future by signing a contract extension with Slavia Prague, committing himself to the club until December 2027, which effectively rules out a move in the near term.


Prior to his contract renewal, the young defender had attracted interest from several French Ligue 1 teams but ultimately chose to stay and continue his development in the Czech capital.


Having joined Slavia Prague from Norwegian club Lillestrom in January 2023 for a reported fee of €2.5 million, with performance-related bonuses that could increase the amount, Ogbu is poised to make his senior international debut soon, especially with Nigeria’s squad missing key defender Calvin Bassey for upcoming matches.
