Tore deal close: Here’s the finanaces
A highly placed source told ClaretandHugh earlier today that the club is hopeful of getting the deal across the line within the next couple of days and speaking to us again a few minutes ago it became clear that a huge package will be involved.
We were told: “Gokhan would be a very expensive loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. It’s a very expensive loan fee and high wages.
“Loan fees for a single season can be very expensive and that’s certainly the case with Tore. Last season we paid £2m loan fees on three different players but this season the clubs are asking even more !”
ClaretandHugh understands that the fee for Tore is in the region of £5-£6 million and that his wage is around £60,000 a week.
The club have firmly rejected permanent deal as given the often pedestrian pace of the TurkishLleague they want to be 100 per cent certain that he can hack it in the PL before committing what will be about a £13 million transfer fee.
We have uncomfirmed reports that the Turkish international arrived in the country earlier today for talks with Sullivan at his Essex mansion.
