Abdullah Avcı, who has replaced Senol Gunes as the manager of Besiktas, wants Shinji Kagawa to return to the club, according to Turkish newspaper Sabah.

It is reported that Borussia Dortmund, who loaned Kagawa to Besiktas in January this year, had received the offer from the Turkish club.

Avcı said about Kagawa, “He can lead us to a different place. He has already played for us for half a year, and is adapted at Besiktas.” He mentioned that he has met with Kagawa and added, “His top priority is Spain, and he is in talks with two clubs at the moment. He is considering Besiktas as his next choice.”

Kagawa, whose contract with Dortmund expires in June 2020, is currently representing Japan in the Kirin Challenge Cup, where they are playing Trinidad and Tobago (5 June) and El Salvador (9 June).
