gurru991 Posted 17 November 2022 Share Posted 17 November 2022 It worries me that Leicester are not managing their assets too well lately. Players running down their contracts is not good business as far as I can see. We had a strong reputation of being well managed, buying low & selling high ! What has changed ? I don't understand at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has over six months left on his contract. This, coupled with his failure to convince Brendan Rodgers could see Leicester let go of him at the end of this term. The 26-year-old’s situation with the Premier League side has caught Beşiktaş’s attention, as per Fanatik. The Black Eagles, who want to strengthen the centre-back position in the winter market, have Rodgers’ man on their radar. It’s suggested Leicester will release Söyüncü after his contract with them runs down and his plan is to then join a ‘European giant’. The Süper Lig side don’t fit this bill. Therefore, they ‘will offer’ him a short-term deal in January. Beşiktaş’ idea is to sign Söyüncü on loan deal until the end of this season so that he can be allowed to execute his plan to get a move to a top club next summer. Fanatik doesn’t mention whether Söyüncü and/or Leicester are open to the loan transfer in January. ...they could not afford to loan him out, Besiktas are always looking for a bargain!!! I can't see this happening, I think he is set on OM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have a renaissance, it's sadly one of those things and if we get nothing for him it will be a double hammer blow. I just hope someone with disposable funds are willing to go for him this January, with the modest wages he is on I think a team would be willing to pay £10m + and similar in signing on fee and big wages as he's a £35-40m defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see why this would be any easier in January than it was in the summer. In Vestergaard's case it's probably now harder, that carrot of a WC place being gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the other two who know, but a guy can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 1 December 2022 Share Posted 1 December 2022 El Atlético pregunta por Caglar Soyuncu, central del Leicester Desde el entorno del jugador en Turquía aseguran que el acuerdo está cercano, algo que, por otro lado, desmiente el club rojiblanco. https://as.com/futbol/primera/el-atletico-pregunta-por-caglar-soyuncu-central-del-leicester-n/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 2 December 2022 Share Posted 2 December 2022 Google translate of the whole article.. From the player's environment in Turkey they assure that the agreement is close, something that, on the other hand, the rojiblanco club denies. Özgür Sancar updated toDecember 1, 2022 20:40 CET 10 JONATHAN NACKSTRANDAFP Atlético combs the market in search of a central defender and has asked in Turkey for Caglar Soyuncu (Izmir, Turkey, 1996). From the player's environment they assure that the agreement is close, something that, on the other hand, the rojiblanco club denies. There have only been questions, interest. For now. The rojiblanco club would try, according to the information coming from Turkey, to carry out an Operation Reinildo : sign the Leicester footballer at a low price because he is free in June or sign him for June and try to speed up his arrival by now, January. If Leicester's claims are very high, I would wait until June . Enlarge Soyuncu in the friendly between Turkey and the Czech Republic.Anadolu AgencyGetty The rojiblanco sports director, Andrea Berta, would have even called Mustafa Bogru, the footballer's former representative, to find out the ins and outs of the personality of the player who has only played 72' this season in the Premier, with the Leicester with whom he had been a fixed the previous season. Atleti, already behind in 2018 Atlético was already interested in his signing when Soyuncu was playing for Freiburg , but the German club was asking for 20 million euros for his transfer. An amount that seemed exaggerated to the rojiblanca board at the time , 2018. Madrid and Barcelona also asked about the central defenderlast season but they did not reach any agreement with Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 19 December 2022 Share Posted 19 December 2022 (edited) If anyone is going to sort out his mental strength, it's Simeone. Has all the physical assets to be a top CB, but lacks concentration and resilience. Edited 19 December 2022 by lcfc_forever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strapped up Caglar brought back into the fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
