Oxlade-Chamberlain Leaves Besiktas for Free Transfer…
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has officially left Besiktas amid rumors of a dramatic return to English football. It’s as if the football gods handed him a golden key to unlock any club he desires, because despite not playing in their first six matches, his contract has been whooshed away like a bad magic trick. Now, free as a bird soaring over the European transfer deadlines, Oxlade-Chamberlain can flutter back to England without any paperwork scuffles. Besiktas waved goodbye with chocolate in the form of €1.75 million in compensation—a farewell sweeter than grandma’s apple pie.
Having previously played for Liverpool during a six-year treasure hunt that netted him multiple big trophies, Oxlade-Chamberlain joined Besiktas in 2023. He somehow played more new positions in Turkey than there are flavors in a scoop of gelato—attacking midfield, holding role, box-to-box, and even right-back! Now with another Turkish Cup under his belt, he’s like a trophy magnet, ready to attract interest from Birmingham City, Leeds United, or Leicester City in the Championship or Premier League. Given his versatility, whoever signs him next might just get the Swiss Army knife of footballers.
