Besiktas are not keen on investing £17 million in Mangala either so a loan race could be on the cards this summer.
The Istanbul giants are reported to be favourites due to the fact they have Champions League football next season.
Besiktas will win the league title for a second consecutive season if they manage to avoid defeat against Gaziantepspor this weekend.
The Eagles are likely to be involved in the title race again next season and reached the 2016-17 Europa League quarter-finals.
