Filip Jorgensen is actively pushing for a transfer to Besiktas this summer, as the out-of-favour Chelsea goalkeeper looks to secure regular first-team football ahead of the 2026/27 season.

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, the Black Eagles have identified the 24-year-old as a primary target for the upcoming window. Jorgensen is reportedly awaiting offers from prospective suitors while maintaining a clear preference for the move to the Tupras Stadium.
A Difficult Debut Season at Chelsea
Jorgensen joined Chelsea from Villarreal in a deal worth £20.7 million in July 2024. The Denmark international has shown ability in patches, but inconsistency has cost him his place as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. His 2025/26 campaign tells the story plainly: 963 minutes across 12 appearances, 17 goals conceded, and just one clean sheet. With limited game time and no clear path to regular starts at Stamford Bridge, a departure this summer carries obvious logic.

Besiktas Need a Goalkeeper
Besiktas attempted to sign Jorgensen in January, but the deal fell through after then-Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior blocked the move to protect his goalkeeping options. The situation has not changed on Besiktas‘ end. The Turkish club sold Mert Gunok to Fenerbahce several months ago, leaving a clear vacancy between the sticks that they are prioritising ahead of next season.
Jorgensen‘s stance, unchanged since winter, puts both parties in alignment. With the player pushing to leave and Besiktas holding genuine need and documented interest, a summer agreement looks probable. Follow TipsGG for the latest updates on this transfer as the window approaches.
