Overview
- Beşiktaş president Serdal Adal says Villa have submitted an offer and the Turkish club would weigh a deal if a player comes the other way.
- Turkish reports cited in the UK say Villa’s opening bid is about £15.6m, with Beşiktaş seeking more than £17.3m or cash plus a player such as Evann Guessand or Lamare Bogarde, though Guessand’s agent says he will not leave this month.
- Everton and Nottingham Forest are preparing rival proposals to match Villa’s move, according to Football Insider.
- Abraham’s loan from Roma to Beşiktaş includes a conditional obligation to buy, which complicates any mid-season transfer.
- Villa remain optimistic after fresh talks, with reports indicating Abraham favors a Villa return and is considering a four-and-a-half-year offer worth around £4m per year.
