Beşiktaş’s opening Europa League fixture against Danish side FC Midtjylland is scheduled for next Wednesday’s encounter.
Manager Vincenzo Italiano views Midtjylland as a difficult opponent before the campaign gets under way.
Bookmakers’ market prices currently put the Black Eagles in front ahead of the clash.
Meanwhile, reports suggest Beşiktaş lodged a €12m bid for Cyle Larrivee only to see a counter-offer of 25 million euros arrive from the buying club .
With the transfer window set to close this weekend , Larrivee’s future hangs in the balance and talks could reopen before the deadline.
