There’s essentially a double whammy of fresh reports on interest in Alioski today. Turkish outlet Takvim are claiming that Fenerbache are set to offer Alioski a contract “if the conditions are suitable”. They also claim that there has been interest from Beşiktas, Galatasaray and Trabzonspor. Fellow Turkish outlet Fanatik also claim that CSKA Moscow have already offered a contract to the 29-year-old left back - of €2.5million-per-season. Leeds want Alioski to stay and the offer of a new deal is on the table for a player whose contract is up this summer.
