However, the asking price is set at €30m and Besiktas need to hit that figure to get the 27-year-old. Laurienté first joined Sassuolo from Lorient in the summer of 2022 at a cost of €10.1m plus add-ons, including a 20 per cent cut of the future sale fee. He only recently signed a new contract with the Neroverdi that runs to June 2029, but an exit was always on the cards. The versatile forward plays primarily on the left wing, but can also work on the right, or as a centre-forward.
