Beşiktaş is aiming to bolster their squad with a new striker during the mid-season transfer window and has focused their attention on Erik Botheim from Malmö. Botheim has gained recognition for his performance in the Swedish League, where he recorded 12 goals and 6 assists in 30 matches, as well as in the Europa League with 2 goals in 4 matches. Although his contract with Malmö extends until 2027, reports suggest that he is open to leaving the club. Beşiktaş intends to finalize the transfer during the January transfer window. Botheim's market value is estimated to be around 3.5 million Euros.
