adminBesiktas want to cancel Dele Alli’s loan deal and send him back to Everton.
The former England midfielder has failed to make an impact at the Turkish club following his move in the summer having scored one goal in just seven appearances.
However, there is no early break clause in the deal and Everton will want full payment of the loan fee – thought to be around £1m – as well as the agreed amount of contribution of the player’s wages.
Because of that, it is highly unlikely the 26-year-old former Tottenham player will return to England during the January transfer window.
Alli joined Everton from Spurs in February 2022 for a fee potentially worth up to £40m, but he struggled to perform for the Merseyside club and left for Turkey just six months later.
He has since failed to reproduce the form that saw him earn 37 England caps – the last of which was in 2017 – and was loudly booed by Besiktas supporters last month when he was substituted after 30 minutes in a cup tie against second-tier side Sanliurfaspor.
Speaking in November, Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes admitted Alli was performing “below expectations”. – Standard Sport.
