Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano informs that Kristoffer Velde may leave Lech Poznań during the ongoing transfer window. Many teams asked Lech about the Norwegian, but Besiktas, the 16-time Turkish champion, is to show a specific interest.

One of the members of the FA Sport agency, which deals with Velde, told the Norwegian media that a summer transfer is possible. – Yes, there is movement around it. This means something can happen in the summer. I think Kristoffer can end up in one league with the TOP5 – the agent told Haugesunds Avis.
Velde has had a successful season in the colors of Lech Poznań. The Norwegian has made 48 appearances in all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists. His contract with Lech expires at the end of June 2025. The reward for a successful season was a call-up to the Norwegian national team for June matches in the el. Euro 2024. Velde made his national debut against Cyprus (3-1), coming on in the 88th minute for Fredrik Aursnes from Benfica.
