Turkish side Bestikas have submitted an offer in the region of £16m to sign Wolves defender Emmanuel Agbadou, according to Sky Sports reporter Sacha Tavolieri.
It was a busy January transfer window for Wolves, which saw them offload a host of players following their dismal start to the Premier League season. Jorgen Strand Larsen was the only player to leave on a permanent deal, while the likes of Fer Lopez, Marshall Munetsi, and Ki-Jana Hoever left on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Rob Edwards side strengthened their squad, bringing in Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes from Southampton and Marseille, respectively. Their chances of surviving in the Premier League remain slim, despite their new additions, and they might be preparing for at least a season in the Championship.
Besiktas Make Offer for Wolves Star
According to Sky Sports journalist Tavolieri, Bestikas have submitted an offer worth in the region of £16m for Agbadou, with talks ‘well underway’ over a potential exit. Besiktas are pushing to sign the centre-back, but Wolves are making it difficult for them to secure his signature.
Besiktas are still able to sign Adbadou due to their transfer window remaining open, despite the English window closing on Monday evening. Wolves are still able to offload some of their stars if they wish, but they are unable to find replacements unless they are signed on free transfers.
Whether Wolves sanction an exit for Agbadou remains to be seen, but it would certainly be a huge risk.

Wolves Can’t Afford to Lose Anyone
Although Agbadou is no longer a guaranteed starter under Edwards, he’s still contributed a fair amount to Wolves this season. The 28-year-old has started 12 times in the Premier League, and a sale might have made sense when Wolves had the opportunity to replace him, but they are unable to with the window closed.
Allowing Agbadou to depart in the coming days would be a huge risk for Wolves and leave Edwards with minimal options for the centre-back position. Their likely relegation might be impacting their situation, looking to offload players before their relegation is confirmed.
