We have set an asking price for him and are in talks with Besiktas to sell, doubt Rodgers has any interest in keeping him around Ghezzal also wants to stay at Besiktas anyway, better off getting as much as we can and putting it towards a player we want Edited 8 June 2021 by moore_94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsX Posted 8 June 2021 Share Posted 8 June 2021 With three clubs on his trail, we’ll get much of our purchase price back for a player who, this time last year, was a complete writeoff. Ghezzal will end up playing at the level where he excels. Maybe for fans who’d sell vital organs to keep him. Another Foxes story with a happy ending. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely spot on - Ghezzal's stock is at its highest since we signed him, Rodgers has involved him as an unused sub in one match day squad so clearly would rather his future was elsewhere, and Ghezzal has found his groove again at Besiktas being instrumental in a league and cup double. We'd be absolute mugs to not cash in now. Hopefully we can fetch 6-8mil and put it towards a key target - preferably a right winger who is the absolute dog's nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the whole you’re right, he’s not good enough for where we want to be. Players do improve. renato Sanches is proof of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 8 June 2021 Share Posted 8 June 2021 Like Musa you have to sell whilst he stock is high, he's 29 his price is only going to go down. So if we can get 7m ish take it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The whole world smiles Posted 8 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 June 2021 (edited) People can be snobbish about the Turkish league all they want. But fair play to ghezzal what a season he had over there, if you listen to some posters on here he could barely kick a ball. But to finish the season with 25 goals and assists in 31 games and a league winners medal is a fantastic achievement. Not saying he should come back or anything like that but deffo deserves a bit of respect for the season he had. Good for him and good for us as we should hopefully get a few million for him in the kitty and that looked highly unlikely a year ago.

But you would still get a lot of people that would be hesitant of him because of the league he has played in What we saw from him last time is what makes people wary of whether he could come back and do a job He wants to stay over there, club want rid, we get some money we can invest into the squad, all parties win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, and in an ideal world, it would happen that way. But, it’s not going to happen. It didn’t even work out for Ünder, who imo, is better than Ghezzal.

moore_94 Posted 9 June 2021 Share Posted 9 June 2021 Apparently we have turned down a €10m offer from an unnamed Italian club, seems like our asking price has gone up! https://insidefutbol.com/2021/06/09/leicester-city-knock-back-bid-from-italian-club-for-29-year-old/512215/ Leicester City have turned down a €10m offer from an unnamed Italian club for Rachid Ghezzal, who spent the 2020/21 season on loan with Turkish giants Besiktas, according to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur. While the name of the Italian club has not been revealed, the Foxes appear to want a fee of more than €10m for the sale of the winger this summer. Leicester, who are said to be prepared to part ways with Ghezzal despite his exploits in Turkey, will be hopeful of Besiktas meeting their financial demands. However, the Foxes could be in line to face a blow soon as initial talks between Ghezzal’s agent and Besiktas have not gone according to plan, according to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu. The Algeria international’s agent Anouir Fazuli is said to have spoken to Besiktas supremo Emre Kocadag on Tuesday, but could not agree on personal terms. “SPECIAL | Beşiktaş Vice President Emre Kocadağ and Rachid Ghezzal's manager Anouir Fazuli made a phone call today. • The parties could not agree on material terms. The first meeting was unsuccessful.” “There was an offer of around 10 million Euros from Italy, but Leicester City did not accept it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
