Besiktas have reportedly received a £13.2m offer for Everton and West Ham target Domagoj Vida but hope World Cup will drive his price up.
Domagoj Vida could be on his way to the Premier League with Turkish publication Skor reporting five teams from the division are interested and Besiktas have received a £13.2m offer.
Everton, Fulham and West Ham United are among those from England’s top flight known to be interested in Vida, yet it is not known who has made the bid for the defender.
The Super Lig club are open to selling some of their key players as they look to reduce their wage bill by 35%, with fellow centre-back Dusko Tosic having already been sold to Guangzhou R&F of the Chinese Super League this summer.

Vida is currently with Croatia at the 2018 World Cup and Besiktas president Fikret Orman is hoping a decent performance from the 29-year-old in Russia will drive his valuation up even further and would prefer to wait until the end of the tournament before a decision is made on the centre-back’s future.
The Croatian has only been with the Turkish side since January after joining from Dynamo Kiev but this desire to bring down the financial outlay of the club could see his stay in Istanbul limited to just six months.
Vida primarily plays in central defence although can also operate as a full-back on both the left and the right.
