Inter midfielder Andy Diouf linked with Besiktas move

Andy Diouf, the French-Senegalese midfielder at Inter, is the subject of a reported move to Besiktas.

The 23-year-old joined Inter from Lens on 22 August 2025 in a €20m transfer and has a contract with the Italian club until 30 June 2030. His current market value is listed at €20m.

Diouf made 19 Serie A appearances during the 2025-26 season, scoring once, while also featuring in the Champions League and Italy Cup. He was part of the Inter side that won both the Italian league title and the Italian Cup in his first season at the club.

A central midfielder who prefers his left foot, Diouf began his senior career with Rennes before spending the 2022-23 season on loan at Basel. He then moved permanently to Basel in July 2023 and joined Lens later that season.

The player also won a silver medal with France at the 2024 Olympic Games. His dual nationality is reflected in his international background, although his club career has remained in Europe’s major leagues since his move to Lens.

Any move to Besiktas would therefore involve a player under a long-term Inter contract, with the Turkish club linked to a midfielder who has completed one season in Serie A.
