Rangers in preliminary talks with Besiktas for highly rated left back Ridvan Yilmaz. Ben Davies was more a replacement for Balogun and Bassey at LCB.

In the last year of his contract could be done at a cut price.

Played over 50 games for Besiktas in the last 3 years. This looks like a promising signing if it gets done.

They want 4 million for him… so I guess we could work a deal with so much up front and add one as normal… good young age aswell so could be one we can bring in and then sell on for a higher profit in a few years.

£4m a bit steep if in final year of contract. 50 games in 3 seasons is ok, but I’d expect 100 plus in 3 seasons, does he have bad injury record or is it due to age?

The lad had 7 G/ A in 27 appearances last season. A goal scoring contribution that is better than 1 in every 4 from a full-back ins’t bad at all. Only 21 and already getting international caps. Was a target for Spurs, Juventus, Frankfurt, etc. He certainly seems to have a lot of promise. As a backup to Borna we could do a lot worse.

Glasgow 50 league games.
Goat boy not sure about deal, he was va7 million in January, spurs are favourites to sign him, must be ok if conte wants him.

Why we saying 4 million is too steep in last year of his deal but wanted 10+ for aribo in the same position? If that’s what a club value their player at that’s what we need to pay.

Besiktas have now increased the asking price to 5.1 million and want a 15% sell on clause inserted. Frankfurt almost signed him last month but would not go above 4 million and wanted to pay in instalments. Besiktas want straight up fee.

Really ambitious move from us. Hope we get him in.

Apparently we have submitted a fee of €6M which is the equivalent of £5.1M meeting their evaluation of the player.

I thought £4m in last year of contract was steep because his current market value is less than £4m. We sold Aribo for £6m plus add ons as he was in final year of contract IMO we would of been able to get £12m up front if he had a longer contract.
I’m not saying this boy isn’t worth £4m I just said I would of hoped we could get him in cheaper due to his contract status and before I knew anything about him tbh.
I’ve since done a bit of research on the Turkish boy and he sounds decent. Yeah when teams like Spurs have an interest he must have something, that being said though Spurs didn’t pursue it and now they are in Champions league he isn’t a target any longer.
It also said he missed Turkeys cut in recent squad and when he did last play he was deployed in LM.
Maybe it’s his versatility that’s something that’s interested Gio aswell.
For the record I though Barisic was outstanding last night but like everyone else I have the fear when he plays against Celtic, if he can halve proper competition at LB it can only be good for us moving forward.
