Trabzonspor, who are presently third in the Turkish Super Lig, have started negotiations to re-sign the 29-year-old midfield player, who previously played for them from 2015 to 2018, according to a report published by a Turkish news site on Wednesday, January 24.
Taka Gazete confirms the rumors, but he also says that Yokuslu’s 18-month contract with the Baggies is a “huge obstacle” for Trabzonspor to overcome in order to finalize a trade.
Nonetheless, it’s known that West Brom and Trabzonspor are in negotiations. On September 19, The Telegraph revealed that, in the event that a takeover wasn’t finalized, player sales were always a possibility in January.
These are hardly the first stories that we have heard from Turkey that lack depth.
In August 2020, Kamil Grosicki took to Twitter to refute rumors that connected him to Besiktas during his time at the Albion. Additionally, who can forget Josef de Souza’s purported inability to join with us?
Yokuslu is a major player for Turkey internationally, and the Turkish media will constantly associate him with a return to his native country.
Thankfully, it appears that Trabzonspor’s attempts to capture the former midfield player for Celta Vigo would not be successful.
There are still one and a half years left in his contract, which protects Albion, and it doesn’t appear like Trabzonspor will be able to buy him out of it.
Yokuslu alone is one player Carlos Corberan cannot afford to lose this month.
Nevertheless, given our club’s financial situation, some of those choices might not be in his control, so you can’t fully rule out Turkish Delight’s last-minute departure from the Black Country.
