Cameroon international Jean Onana is close to leaving Beşiktaş as discussions over the termination of his contract reach an advanced stage, with a possible move to Cyprus now emerging as a leading option for the midfielder.
The 26-year-old is still officially under contract with the Istanbul club until June 2027, but sources indicate that both parties are now working towards an early separation after a difficult spell in Turkey.
Beşiktaş have no intention of retaining the midfielder, and negotiations are progressing towards an agreement that would bring his time at the club to an end sooner than planned.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract situation, Onana is not short of interest as he looks ahead to the next stage of his career.
Reports suggest that clubs in France and Cyprus have made enquiries, with Cypriot side Aris Limassol currently viewed as the most active suitor.
The midfielder’s situation remains open, with talks still ongoing and no formal decision taken on his next destination.
However, the possibility of a move to Cyprus is gaining momentum as Onana considers how best to rebuild his career after a challenging season.
Onana’s career has already taken him across several European leagues, including spells in Portugal, France, Belgium, Italy and Turkey.
The former Olympique de Marseille player has struggled for consistent playing time in recent months, which has fuelled expectations that he may seek a fresh start in a less pressured environment.
A move to Aris Limassol would offer him the opportunity to restart his career and potentially secure more regular minutes on the pitch, something that has become increasingly important as he looks to regain form and stability.
While no agreement has been reached, the growing interest from Cyprus, combined with Beşiktaş’s willingness to terminate his contract, suggests that a resolution could come soon.
