Leicester City’s Rachid Ghezzal has regained his best form while on loan at Beşiktaş this season.
The winger has seven goals and 17 assists in 33 matches and has played a vital role in helping the Turkish club sit on top of the league table.
His contract with the Foxes will expire in 2022 and Beşiktaş have the intention to buy the ex-Lyon man in the next market.
Takvim state there’s a ‘surprise’ in the chase for the 29-year-old as Fenerbahçe have emerged as a new suitor.
The Yellow Canaries ‘contacted’ Brendan Rodgers’ side after their sporting director, Emre Belözoğlu, gave his approval to sign the Algerian. His market value is around €9m and it’s stated Fener have made the ‘first bid’ for Ghezzal.
As per the report, Fenerbahçe plan to ‘hit two birds with one stone’ by making an approach for the player owned by the English club.
Ghezzal’s arrival will not only help Fener strengthen their squad, but it will also ‘deprive’ their arch rival, Beşiktaş, of an important player. Leicester have an intention to sell the wideman and are pleased with the new developments.
Beşiktaş, however, are ‘not happy’, and Fenerbahçe’s interest in the attacker has now made Leicester’s hand ‘stronger’ as more suitors will only drive Ghezzal’s price ‘even higher.’
