Ghedjemis pressure on Frosinone REGGIO NELL’EMILIA, ITALY – MARCH 09: Fares Ghedjemis of Frosinone Calcio and Gregoire Defrel of US Sassuolo during the Serie A TIM match between US Sassuolo and Frosinone Calcio – Serie A TIM at Mapei Stadium – Citta’ del Tricolore on March 09, 2024 in Reggio nell’Emilia, Italy. (Photo by Francesco Scaccianoce/Getty Images) The Canarini had been adamant that they would hold on to the Algeria international following promotion to Serie A.
They had already rejected proposals from Celtic and Rangers, and were confident they could keep refusing anything under €18-20m.
However, it was reported in Turkish media today that Ghedjemis had agreed personal terms with Besiktas and was pressuring the club to let him go.
Italian reports suggest both AS Monaco and Besiktas made the same offer, around €10m, and that will not be sufficient to make a sale.
Nonetheless, Ghedjemis is not even on the bench in today’s Serie A season opener against Juventus, despite the fact he had started in the Coppa Italia last week.

What happened
Frosinone have left Ghedjemis out of their matchday squad amid growing speculation linking the forward with a €10m move to either Besiktas or Monaco. The omission strongly suggests a transfer is close to completion, with both clubs reportedly interested in acquiring the attacker. Frosinone appear to be preparing for the player's departure, which would represent a significant sale for the Serie A side.
Chance analysis
Frosinone's decision to leave Ghedjemis out of the squad is the clearest signal yet that a transfer is imminent. With both Besiktas and Monaco circling with a reported €10m offer, the Italian club is managing the situation proactively rather than risking an unsettled player. For Frosinone, losing a key attacking option so close to the season is a disruptive blow, but the fee represents a meaningful windfall for a club of their size.
Frosinone lose an attacking option from their squad with immediate effect as a €10m exit to Besiktas or Monaco nears.
