Galatasaray Kaboul 3-year contract £48K
Yesterday I covered the story of Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yildirim and Technical Director Vítor Pereira and their journey to London with a shopping list of names that included Younès Kaboul and Mohamed Salah.
Slaven Bilić was manager at Beşiktaş before joining West Ham United and tried to sign him in January but while it's though his price was the problem, the Turkish media have reported that it was his wages that were the problem.
A third Turkish side have emerged as wanting to sign him and they can offer him guaranteed UEFA Champions League football, Super Lig champions Galatasaray. It is not the first time Galatasaray have tried to lure the Frenchman but he has had injuries and was still required by Tottenham then.
Galatasaray president, Dursun Aydın Özbek, only took over the post in 23rd May this year and he has authorised the purchase of 29-year-old Kaboul according to a Turkish media report. He has authorised a transfer budget of £3.61 million (US$5.60m - AUS$7.26m - €5m) but Tottenham are looking for £5 million (US$7.78m - AUS$10.06m - €6.91m).
The clubs are not miles apart but given the desire to remove him from the wage list and bring in a new centre-back to replace him, you would think an agreement on price can be reached without too much difficulty.
Team manager Cenk Ergün has authorised the administration manager to complete the paperwork if they obtain agreement. Club representatives will fly to London this week to meet with Tottenham executives, Kaboul and his representatives, they want to complete a deal this week.
Galatasaray will be offering him a three-year contract worth £48,707-a-week (US$75,789m - AUS$98,092 - €67,308), that's a breakdown of the three year offer of 10.5 million EUR.
Kaboul is also wanted by Stoke City, West ham United, Watford, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, who still want him despite Slaven Bilić leaving for West Ham, however given reports he or his representatives contacted Fenerbahçe to initiate a move Turkey may be his next destination.
Further Tottenham Reading
Daniel Levy must change Tottenaham
Creating winners, not players
