Dave Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Quote Besiktas are interested in signing Everton midfielder Davy Klaassen, Sky sources understand. The Turkish club are understood to want Klaassen on an initial loan deal. The former Ajax captain has struggled to get regular games at Everton since his £23.6m move last June.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 5, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted June 5, 2018 There's a chance he'll come good under a manager playing the way Silva wants to play so I'd rather see him stay at least one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 22, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 22, 2018 Reports coming in that we're trying to sign Klaassen for a fee of around 13-14m €. Any chance of it happening?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He declined a move to Napoli on loan in January and has declined a move to Besiktas this window. I'd like him to stay, but for the right price I think Silva may move him along. Hmm, so it doesn't sound like it's completely impossible, maybe a loan + an option to buy?... Our Director of Sports didn't want to comment, so I guess it's not a completely made up story, haha.

I don't think you will have to pay an astronomical fee mind. Ha, as if we could afford paying an astronomical fee I'm not even sure we can meet his wage requirements. Media sources close to the club are reporting that Everton would be willing to let him go for about half of what you paid for him, hence the 13-14m figure... Looks like he could be a good replacement for Delaney, as we sold him to BVB for 20m just before the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted July 23, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted July 23, 2018 We have allegedly agreed terms with Everton already, and they are willing to let Klaassen go for 15m € (12m now, 3m in installments). Waiting for the player's decision now. That would be our record transfer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the player's decision now. That would be our record transfer... Heard conflicting reports but he's on something between 80k and 100k a week. I'm guessing you lot wouldn't be paying that much? I like him, it's a shame how things have gone here and I'd like to see him stay and succeed. However if giving him a chance comes at the expense of Dowell or other young attacking midfielders getting opportunities then it wouldn't be my choice. In the end we've got some of our money back for him. Unless he's willing to take a flat out pay cut (which he might do as apparently his attitude is spot on but he's also a footballer with an agent so probably not) we will still pay part of his wages probably for another season but at least it's a partial reduction on the wage bill. Hope he does well if this goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we surely won't be paying that much, according to the latest reports we've offered him 3.5m annual salary, so I wouldn't be surprised if he rejected the offer, or if he waited for a better one to come. He has the same agent as one of our players (Moisander), so maybe that could be helpful. Not sure we can pull this off, but it would be great to sign someone of his caliber again. He'd surely use us as a stepping stone haha, but we need players like that to get back to European competitions, so could be a good thing for both sides.

I think he's a quality player waiting to happen. Would be a good signing for you I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Im surprised this is not a loan given his potential, initial transfer cosy, and the length on his contract. This could be like a less capable version of DeBruyne at Chelsea saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Bought for £24m, one poor season, then sold for £12m. A bit of a fail from Everton. I do think Everton could've given him more time though rather than thinking they need to cut their losses to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadwell Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 This is such tremendous business for Bremen. I don’t think they could have used the Delaney money any more intelligently tbh. Solid player looking for a different path to redemption and a return to confidence , and Bremen get a very good player who should feel immediately comfortable. Enjoyed the Bielefeld goal, that was just lovely team football there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
