Brendan Rodgers has not included Rachid Ghezzal in his plans at Leicester City and the situation has seen the winger go out on loan since the start of last season.
After completing a temporary spell at Fiorentina, the Foxes allowed the 28-year-old join Beşiktaş on a loan deal last October.
The Algeria international has flourished in Turkey, managing a goal and 13 assists in 21 league [20 starts] appearances this campaign. His impressive displays have helped him regain his place in the national team.
Ghezzal is delighted that his performances for Beşiktaş aren’t going unnoticed.
”First of all, I’m very happy to be back with the group, it’s been a while since I’ve been called up but now that it’s going well in the club, I’m naturally back in selection,” Compétition quoted him as saying.
“At Besiktas, I’m happy. At this club, I have thrived as evidenced by my statistics and consistently good performances.”
There seems to be a desire from the Süper Lig side to retain the Algerian beyond his loan spell. That’s according to Takvim, who say a ‘difficult process awaits’ for Beşiktaş to sign Gheezal on a permanent deal.
With a contract expiring in 2022, Leicester are demanding €8m to let the player leave. During the last meeting between the two sides, ‘no discount’ was offered by the English club.
The ‘contacts will continue’ between Beşiktaş and Leicester.
