The window in the window in the Turkish Süper Lig is still open, so local clubs have time to work on transfers of players from top championships.
We reported earlier that local Super Lig newcomer Eyüpspor want to sign Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier, but Sky Sports clarify that Arda Turan's side are not the only club in the market for him.
The circle of contenders is much wider: in addition to Eyupspor, three Istanbul clubs: Istanbul Başakşehir, Fenerbahce and Besiktas want to sign Trippier. They have sent their proposals for the loan of the England player with an option to buy.
True, Trippier's salary is a barrier for Başakşehir. The Istanbul club want to negotiate with Newcastle on how much of his salary they will pay.
But the Magpies themselves do not intend to let the player go, and all offers of Turkish clubs remain unanswered.
