West Ham United are reluctant to allow Konstantinos Mavropanos to leave in January, according to Inside Futbol, despite interest from Besiktas. Mavropanos has played a key role in West Ham's solid start to the season, starting 11 of 12 matches and scoring five goals. He has also featured in every match where West Ham have kept a clean sheet. The club's stance is seen as the biggest obstacle to a potential move.
Mavropanos attracted interest from several top European leagues after West Ham's relegation, but it didn't result in a move. Besiktas, looking to strengthen their defense, have identified him as a potential signing and are preparing to open negotiations. Olympiacos and Burnley are also monitoring the situation, according to Inside Futbol.
Mavropanos has two years remaining on his contract, but a January departure is not ruled out by him. Besiktas could offer Europa League football and a chance to challenge near the top of the table. It remains to be seen if their interest develops into a formal bid, with West Ham's league position and finding a suitable replacement likely to influence their decision.
