Besiktas submit €15m bid for Reims’ Keito Nakamura | OneFootball

As expected, Stade de Reims have seen their squad picked apart since their relegation to Ligue 2. Few of the core group have remained. Junya Ito has left, as have Yehvann Diouf, Amadou Koné, Nhoa Sangui, Mamadou Diakhon, and Thibault De Smet.

There could be further departures yet. Valentin Atangana is the subject of three offers from RC Strasbourg Alsace, whilst there is also interest in the midfielder from Saudi Arabia.

Keito Nakamura (25) could now leave, too. According to L’Équipe, he is the subject of a big-money bid from Besiktas. The Turkish side have submitted a bid worth €15m. Reims are yet to give their response, however, it would be their biggest sale of the summer and also represent a profit on a player bought for €12m two summers ago.

Despite Reims’ poor season, Nakamura enhanced his reputation, netting 11 goals in Ligue 1. He is yet to feature this season for Les Stadistes.
