Turkish newspaper Milliyet report that Levante have become the latest club to join the race.

Per the source, the La Liga outfit made a €12 million bid for the Trabzonspor ace.

The Black Sea Storm have rejected the offer and

Yazici was snapped up by Mesut Ozil’s agent Dr Erkut Sogut just a month later.

 

Trabzonspor value their star man as being worth €20 million and are not willing to reduce their asking price.

The club will be celebrating their 50th year anniversary over the 2017-18 season and do not want to lose key players over the summer.

Yazici wrapped up his first season of top-tier Turkish football with six goals and 10 assists in all competitions.
