Everton attacker Yannick Bolasie is poised for a permanent exit from Goodison Park with three Turkish teams keen on his services, according to Goal.
The football outlet claim that the 30-year-old Toffees winger is set to leave the Premier League this summer with Turkey his expected destination as Besiktas, Trabzonspor and Galatasary are vying for his signature.
Goal report that Bolasie is expected to seal a move after the African Cup of Nations but note that none of the three Turkish team have agreed a fee with the Toffees as of yet.
Goal previously reported that the Toffees wanted £7million for the winger but now claim that Marco Silva’s side could cut the player’s price tag as they’re keen to raise funds to help their pursuits of Kurt Zouma and Andre Gomes.
Good move for Everton?
Yes, though ideally one of those three clubs should stump up £7million.
Bolasie is clearly not going to feature for Silva next season if he sticks around, as he was so far out of the first-team picture in his 2018/19 campaign that he had two separate loan spells, so it’s best for all parties if he leaves.
As Goal’s report suggests, Everton could use the funds from Bolasie’s sale in order to help get players who would help improve their squad ahead of next season.
Also given that all three clubs are serious with their interest, according to Goal, then it seems like the Toffees will be able to swiftly agree a deal.

Likely to happen?
Very.
Goal are a reliable source and they clearly think Bolasie will soon walk out of the doors of Goodison Park and not look back.
Considering he was on loan at Aston Villa and Anderlecht last season, then it’s hard not to see his exit occurring.
The only question mark over Bolasie’s exit, is which Turkish club does he join?
