The report states that Besiktas, who signed the 31-year-old in August 2023, are eager to offload him due to his substantial wages. Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has apparently decided that Oxlade-Chamberlain is no longer part of his plans.
“Leicester City, an English club, has made an offer for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is being moved on by Solskjaer and Besiktas because of his salary,” the outlet notes.
“If the player agrees on personal terms, the club will facilitate the transfer.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain spent six years at Liverpool, making 146 appearances and playing a crucial role in their Premier League and Champions League triumphs under Jurgen Klopp.
Although a return to Anfield is not expected, his potential comeback to English football would be well received.
His time at Liverpool was hindered by injuries, but his commitment, character, and skill were never questioned.
If he signs with Leicester, a Championship side, he may not get the chance to play at Anfield again — but if he does, the fans would likely welcome him warmly.
This update comes amid broader changes at Liverpool, including Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher joining Brentford — both of whom were part of Klopp’s title-winning teams.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool is beginning to shape a new era with fresh arrivals like Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi.
As for Oxlade-Chamberlain, he leaves with respect and admiration — a player who gave his all and leaves with his head held high, having achieved great success
