Spartak Moscovo offered €25 million for Gedson Fernandes, but the offer was rejected by Besiktas. The rejection was due to financial reasons, as Benfica holds 50% of the player's rights, meaning Besiktas would only receive €12.5 million from the sale, having previously paid €6 million to Benfica in 2022 for the player's rights.

Beşiktaş is negotiating with Benfica to acquire the 50% sales rights of Gedson Fernandes, which they initially agreed to share when they signed him from Benfica in 2022. The negotiations aim for Beşiktaş to retain all future transfer earnings from Gedson Fernandes.

Gedson Fernandes has attracted the attention of several European and Russian clubs again after an impressive start to the season. Beşiktaş expects offers for the player in the winter transfer window. However, the club's management has decided not to sell him unless an astronomical offer is made.

After missing out on Gedson Fernandes (Besiktas), a priority midfielder on the last day of the transfer window, OL quickly turned their attention to Jordan Veretout, also on the shortlist of the management, to recruit him as a wildcard.
