The race to sign Chemsdine Talbi has begun in earnest, with Galatasaray, Besiktas and Al-Ittihad all showing interest in the Morocco international before the transfer window closes.
Talbi only arrived in England a year ago, but his performances have already placed him at the centre of significant transfer attention. The young winger could now leave his current club after just one season, with several high-profile destinations emerging as potential options.
The growing interest means Talbi’s future has become one of the key transfer issues still to be resolved before the market shuts. No final decision has been reached, but talks between the interested parties are continuing actively as they assess whether a deal can be completed in time.
Galatasaray and Besiktas are among the most prominent clubs monitoring the situation. The two Turkish giants have both expressed an interest in bringing Talbi to Turkey, giving the player more than one possible route should he depart England.
Al-Ittihad are also pursuing the winger. The Saudi Arabian club have been particularly active in their efforts to strengthen their attacking options and are now understood to be one of the sides considering a move for Talbi.
At present, the three clubs remain involved in discussions, with no agreement yet confirmed. The situation is therefore still open, and the eventual outcome will depend on whether the parties can reach terms before the imminent deadline.
Talbi’s short stay in England has made the timing of the interest notable. Having arrived only last year, the Morocco international could already be preparing for another change if one of the pursuing clubs succeeds in securing his transfer.
The priority for all those involved is now clear: complete the deal before the transfer window closes. Although negotiations remain ongoing and a final choice has not been made, the number of clubs linked with the winger ensures that his next move is attracting close attention.
For the moment, Galatasaray, Besiktas and Al-Ittihad are the leading destinations identified for Talbi. With the deadline approaching, discussions are expected to remain focused on finding a resolution that allows the transfer to be finalised before the market shuts.
