Besiktas supremo saying Tosun can play for them either in the January window or the summer when he will be a free agent, be good to get another big earner off our books finally.

Can’t see him playing for them in January unless we let him go on a free, contract with us until summer 2022 and can’t see them wanting to pay a fee for him.

Would expect him to see out his contract with us and move on a free in the summer.

Disappointing we never saw the best of him as he was unlucky with injuries and think had he had a different manager he’d have been given a chance as decent record prior to joining us and with the Turkish National team.

{Ed002's Note - January is viable as Everton wil save on his wages.}

Cheers Ed.
As you say we’d save on wages.
However I wouldn’t imagine besiktas would pay him similar to what we currently are, so if he didn’t want to go on a free in January how would we move him on? Nominal transfer fee with him taking a cut to boost his income? Or would the club look to pay him off?

Apologies if stupid question.

{Ed002's Note - Besiktas paid his full wages when he was on loan and will do again if a move can be agreed, be the move be for a token amount, on a free transfer in January or as a Free Agent in the summer. The club will not look to pay him off.}

I thought Tosun wasn’t given a fair run. I’ll admit some days I’d think he was playing with dead legs but that was late on when his confidence was probably shot. Other says he worked hard, played well and worked as a team player.

I think January. Tosun will want to be playing to get himself back in the Turkey squad. They're in a decent position in the qualifiers.
Everton will just want rid of the wages for a player that isn't going to play.
