A player who gave his all in a Liverpool shirt may be on his way back to England, according to Turkish media reports.
Former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has reportedly received an offer from Leicester City, as claimed by fotomac.com.tr.
According to the report, Besiktas — who signed the 31-year-old in August 2023 — are looking to offload him due to his high wages, with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer having decided to move him on.
“Leicester City, an English club, has submitted a bid for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was let go by Solskjaer at Besiktas, and whose departure is being facilitated by the club’s management because of his salary,” the outlet reports.
“If the player agrees terms with the English side, the club will help make the transfer happen.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain spent six years at Liverpool, making 146 appearances and scoring key goals during his time. He was an integral part of the squads that won both the Premier League and Champions League under Jurgen Klopp.
Although a return to Liverpool isn’t expected, seeing the former Southampton and Arsenal player back in English football would be a welcome sight.
Injuries unfortunately limited his time at Anfield, but his work ethic, character, and ability when fit were never in doubt.
Should he join the Championship club, he might not play at Anfield again — but if he does, he would surely receive a warm reception from the fans.
This development comes amid other major squad changes, including Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher’s transfer to Brentford — both members of Liverpool’s recent title-winning team.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool is already taking shape for the future, with new signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi joining the squad.
As for Oxlade-Chamberlain, he leaves with full respect and best wishes — a player who gave everything and departed with pride after achieving it all.
