Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are reportedly keen on signing 28-year-old Malian midfielder Yves Bissouma from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Takvim, Yves Bissouma is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish Super Lig champions are eager to bolster their first-team squad by signing a holding midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Tottenham Hotspur man has emerged as a target for Cimbom.
Widespread reports have also linked the former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder with Fenerbahce. However, Galatasaray will aim to win the battle for Bissouma’s signature, as they are ready to initiate contact over a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Tottenham will have no qualms about cashing in on the player.
Yves Bissouma and his Tottenham trouble
Yves Bissouma faces a critical decision for the peak years of his career amid uncertainties surrounding his long-term future at Tottenham Hotspur. The 28-year-old has not been consistent enough since joining the North London club from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth €30 million in July 2022. He has turned out 100 times thus far for Tottenham while chipping in with one goal.
However, Bissouma faces an uncertain future at the North London club after rubbing Thomas Frank the wrong way with his instances of indiscipline. With Tottenham ready to cash in on the Malian midfielder, the situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs. Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
What next?
Fenerbahce’s interest in Yves Bissouma is understandable. The Yellow Canaries are scouring the market for a midfielder this summer, as Fred is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his career. So, Jose Mourinho wants Fenerbahce to sign a new midfielder, with the Tottenham man emerging as a target for the Turkish Super Lig outfit.
As for Galatasaray, the Turkish Super Lig champions are keen on signing a holding midfielder in the summer transfer window, as Mario Lemina is on the wrong side of 30. Cimbom will soon establish contact over a possible move for the former Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder.
Meanwhile, widespread reports have suggested that Tottenham will not charge an excessive fee to part ways with Bissouma, as they want around €15-20 million to sell him in the summer transfer window. Tottenham’s valuation makes the 28-year-old Malian international an appealing target, and it will be interesting to see if he moves to Turkiye in the coming weeks.
