Everton have agreed a deal in principle to offload their January transfer window flop Dele Alli to Turkish club Besiktas.
The Blues have struck an agreement that would see the former England star join on an initial year loan deal, with a commitment to a permanent transfer, after boss Frank Lampard made the decision to ditch him swiftly. But the sticking point has come over the player’s money demands.
When Everton signed him in January, they agreed a fee that could be worth up to £40m to Tottenham …but only IF he hit all the bonus targets in that contract. Crucially, the Blues agreed they would pay nothing down for the midfielder, only paying an initial £10m when he had reached 20 appearances for the Blues, which allowed them to get close to the near £100,000 a week wages Dele was on at Spurs.
