Transfer Talk - Modrić, Janssen and Ömer Faruk Beyaz

Transfer Talk - Modrić, Janssen and Ömer Faruk Beyaz

Ömer Faruk Beyaz

Tottenham are attempting to sign 15-year-old Fenerbahçe rising star Ömer Faruk Beyaz, who is also being tracked by Real Madrid, report Turkish news outlet Milliyet. He is wanted by Bayern Munich but Fenerbahçe Club President Aziz Yildirim is suggesting that he will sign a professional contract with the Turkish side.

Luka Modrić

Former Spurs midfielder, 32-year-old (33 in September) Croatian international Luka Modrić is considering leaving Real Madrid this summer and President Florentino Perez is moving to line up 28-year-old (29 next April) Bosnian international Miralem Pjanić as his replacement, reports Don Balon.

Other reports in Italy (CalcioMercato, Tuttosport) suggest Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Barcelona are also chasing the Juventus man. Under contract until 2021 and not yet having signed an extension, despite talks, it is suggested a £52.73 million (€60m) fee would be required to sign him.

Vincent Janssen

More news from Turkey and suggestions that Fenerbahçe's on-loan (loan officially ends 30 June) Tottenham forward Vincent Janssen is wanted by Spanish side Sevilla, German side Bayer Leverkusen, Italian side Lazio and Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

The 23-year-old (24 in June) is said, by the Turkish press, to have had a £25 million asking price slapped on him by Spurs. The Yellow Canaries were interested in signing him for another year after his broken leg interrupted season but the price tag is too high for the Turkish Super Lig team.

They have asked to take him on loan for another season but Tottenham wants to sell him with transfers of their own to fund. Tottenham received £1.79 million (€2.25m) loan fee for last season and Janssen received the same figure.

Fenerbahçe has turned their attention to Leicester City forward Islam Slimani, who has not been a success in the Premier League and who many fans wanted Spurs to sign for his overpriced fee.

Too many fans simply assume what a player does in a lower level league is instantly transferable to a major league. That isn't the case, thus some transfers work and some don't. Yet another argument for studying a player mentally in a far more professional way than we do now before making a purchase.

Sports science rules football now so I fail to understand why we have not embraced psychology to give us an advantage.
