Rachid Ghezzal can leave Leicester City for between €2.5m and €3.5m this summer, although Besiktas are yet to reach an agreement for him.
That’s according to Sporx, who cover comments from his agent Anouir Fazuli about a potential return to Turkey.
Ghezzal spent last season with the Turkish side after it was made clear he was not a part of Leicester’s plans moving forwards.
He made himself a key player with the Super Lig side with a number of impressive performances meaning he played a starring role in their title success.
Besiktas are keen to keep him and have been negotiating with Leicester for several months about a potential return.
So far, the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement, but it is widely felt that they will at some point, with all three parties wanting to get a deal done.
And it seems one can be done cheaply, with Fazuli revealing the Foxes asking price in his latest comments.
“For between 2.5 and 3.5 million euros, we can get Ghezzal’s services from Leicester City,” Sporx report him saying.
A relatively low price then, especially considering it was believed Leicester were asking for €6m not so long ago.
Perhaps Besiktas are playing the long game, hoping it’ll continue to reduce, which may end up happening given the Foxes want Ghezzal off the books.
Either way, Sporx report that the forward has a deal in place with them on a three year deal worth €2.25m a year, including bonuses, so it really is up to Besiktas to just stump up the money to make this deal happen.
