According to Hurriyet, Besiktas have submitted a loan offer to Manchester City for defender Eliaquim Mangala.

It’s reported Manchester City are keen to part ways with the player and are ready to accept bids for the former France international.

Hurriyet claim Besiktas need to convince the 28 year old over a loan move and the Frenchman has yet to make a decision about his future.

Besiktas manager Abdullah Avci is said to be keen to work with the player but the Turkish side also need to see medical reports. Mangala sustained a serious knee injury whilst on loan with Everton during the 2017/18 season, and that’s the area of concern.

He didn’t make an appearance for the City first team last season but played five Premier League two games.

The defender will be out of contract next summer so Manchester City may be looking for a permanent deal rather than the loan which Besiktas are seeking.
