Out-of-favour Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen is keen on joining Turkish Super Lig outfit Besiktas in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Sabah, Filip Jorgensen is the subject of interest from Besiktas. The struggling Turkish giants are eager to reinforce their their first-team squad by signing a goalkeeper ahead of the 2026/27 season, and they have set their sights on the 24-year-old Chelsea shot-stopper.
The report has brought good news for Besiktas, as Jorgensen is pushing to move to the Tupras Stadium in the upcoming transfer window. The Sweden-born stopper is awaiting offers from prospective suitors while maintaining his desire to join the Black Eagles in the coming months.
How has Filip Jorgensen fared at Chelsea?
Filip Jorgensen has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Chelsea from Villarreal in a deal worth £20.7 million in July 2024. While the 24-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance during his sporadic appearances for the Premier League club, he has also been an unreliable presence between the sticks for the West London outfit, thus losing his spot as a regular.
The Danish international has endured a frustrating 2025/26 campaign, having managed only 963 minutes of game time across 12 appearances while conceding 17 goals and keeping one clean sheet. Nevertheless, his stock remains high, with Besiktas among the prospective suitors vying for his signature this year.
Turkish adventure awaits?
Besiktas reportedly wanted to sign Filip Jorgensen in January, but a deal did not materialise. The continued interest makes sense, as the Black Eagles are scouring the market for a goalkeeper ahead of the summer transfer window. The underperforming Turkish giants a top-class shot-stopper between the sticks, particularly after selling Mert Gunok to Fenerbahce several months ago.
Jorgensen has thus emerged on the Turkish Super Lig club’s radar, and they have identified him as a top target for the summer. Interestingly, the out-of-favour Chelsea stopper has reportedly been keen on joining Besiktas since the winter transfer window, and his stance remains unchanged.
Back then, then-Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior blocked a departure, as he did not want to weaken his squad’s goalkeeping unit. However, with Jorgensen pushing to leave and Besiktas eager to strengthen their goalkeeping unit, a summer move remains the likeliest outcome.
