Saudi Arabian clubs have shown interest in Beşiktaş's Portuguese player, Rafa Silva. Despite Rafa Silva's wish to stay at Beşiktaş, he is reportedly open to offers. Additionally, the anticipated appointment of Sergen Yalçın as the team's manager, who wants to keep Rafa as the team's leader on the field, has led the management to be reluctant about the transfer.

Rafa Silva is reportedly unhappy with the fans' criticism of the team and is open to leaving Besiktas in January. The interim president of the club, Huseyin Yucel, confirmed that they are willing to sell him if a good offer comes in, despite stating that Rafa is happy in Turkey. Yucel emphasized that Rafa is disturbed by the current sporting situation but expressed hope for his recovery.
