Recently, news has come out of the Turkish soccer world that luxury club Besiktas has taken a keen interest in Barcelona defender Longley and is interested in recruiting him. According to Turkish media Takvim, Besiktas has formally included Langré in its attraction list and prioritized the signing of the player through a free transfer. Despite the difficulty of a direct transfer, Besiktas has also expressed its willingness to sign Langré on loan and promised to bear part of his salary.
Besiktas will participate in the UEFA Europa League next season, and for the team, the introduction of an experienced defender is undoubtedly an important move to enhance the strength of the lineup. However, it is still unclear whether Langré himself has a positive attitude towards joining the Turkish league.
At the same time, the Spanish media "Daily Sport" has revealed the attitude of Barcelona towards the issue of Longley. Barcelona is anxious to solve the transfer problem of Langlais, in order to make more salary space and lineup position for the team. It is reported that Longley has clearly realized that he does not occupy a central position in the team's future planning, but he still trains with the team and is expected to get a chance to play in the U.S. trip.
Langrée himself is actively looking for a new home, and he has made it clear that he wants to continue in European football and has ruled out a move to an Asian league such as Saudi Arabia. However, the offers he has received so far have not met his personal and club expectations, leading to a stalemate in the transfer process.
Barcelona had offered Longley a release letter this summer with the intention of terminating his contract, which expires in June 2026, early. However, Longley did not accept the offer and is still hoping to find a new home in European football. As a result, Barcelona are also currently weighing up various solutions, including continuing to listen to offers from other clubs as well as considering extreme measures such as terminating his contract.
