A former Liverpool star who gave his all during his time at Anfield may soon return to English football, according to reports from Turkey.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who joined Beşiktaş in August 2023, is reportedly attracting interest from Leicester City. Turkish outlet fotomac.com.tr claims the Championship side has submitted an offer for the 31-year-old midfielder.
Beşiktaş are said to be open to letting him go due to his salary, especially after new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made the decision to move him on.
“Leicester City has submitted an offer for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was sidelined by Solskjaer at Beşiktaş and is being considered for release due to his annual wages,” the report states. “If the player can reach terms with the English club, Beşiktaş management will facilitate the transfer.”
Oxlade-Chamberlain spent six seasons at Liverpool, making 146 appearances and contributing key goals. He played a significant role in both the club’s Premier League and Champions League triumphs under Jürgen Klopp.
A Possible Return to England for Oxlade-Chamberlain
Though a Liverpool return isn’t on the table, it would still be great to see the ex-Arsenal and Southampton man back in English football. His Anfield career was heavily disrupted by injuries, but his commitment, professionalism, and talent were never in doubt.
Should the move to Leicester go through, he may not play at Anfield again—but if he does, he would undoubtedly be warmly welcomed by the fans.
This update comes amid a summer of change at Liverpool, with Trent Alexander-Arnold joining Real Madrid and Caoimhin Kelleher heading to Brentford—both part of the club’s recent title-winning squad.
With new signings like Jeremie Frimpong and Armin Pecsi already arriving, Arne Slot appears to be putting his stamp on the squad following a strong debut season.
As for Oxlade-Chamberlain, he leaves with respect and admiration. A true professional who gave everything and walked away with a full trophy cabinet.
