Besiktas are reportedly interested in Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti.
According to reports in Turkey, the Super Lig club wants to strike a deal to land the former Everton forward this summer.
Rangers signed Chermiti last year in an £8m transfer, with £2m in add-ons included in the deal.
However, according to ToSports, Besiktas are keen to sign the striker, who scored 15 league goals in his first season in Scotland.
CHERMİTİ Bu ismin nereden çıktığını, kulübe kim tarafından önerildiğini, şartlarının ne olduğunu, daha önce Türkiye’den hangi takımların ilgilendiğini, hatta şu anda Galatasaray dışında Beşiktaş’ın daha çok istediğini, başından sona tüm süreci biliyorum.. Bazen bazı şeyleri…

Osman Altunterim reports that previous suggestions Galatasaray were leading a transfer race for Chermiti are wide of the mark.
And he also states that Besiktas have been told in no uncertain terms that Rangers would require a €30m (£25.7m) transfer fee to sell the striker this summer.
It's claimed Rangers are not interested in any loan agreements, with a flat fee required if any deal is to be agreed.
Quizzed on his Rangers future in an interview last month, Chermiti said: “I'm very happy here.
“I like Glasgow, I like the club and everyone likes me as well. I think everyone is just trying to help me with my development. It is not a distraction for me, to be honest I don't hear anything. I don’t hear any noise from outside the club. I leave that with my agent and my family.
“I'm just focused on this season and on Rangers. I feel very good in the city. Even my family is happy. 100 per cent, there is more to come from me. I think that's the target.
“I'm trying to get better every day. I think my target is, as I said in a few interviews before, I want to get into the national team [too]. That's my dream.”
