Le Havre president Jean-Michel Roussier admits their asking price for centre-back Etienne Youte could drop amid reported interest from Besiktas. Reports in France suggest that the Scottish Premiership champions have joined Anderlecht and Besiktas in the race to land the 23-year-old. Youte only has a year remaining on his current contract and the Ligue 1 outfit would reportedly accept a €5million (£4.3million) fee this summer. But Roussier admits that the cash-strapped club could be forced into a bargain sale of the centre-back this summer.

Beşiktaş is showing interest in acquiring Etienne Youte, a 23-year-old defender currently with Le Havre in France. Reports from L'Equipe indicate that Beşiktaş has submitted an initial offer for the player. It is reported that the French club is open to accepting a transfer fee of 5 million euros. This move aligns with Beşiktaş's strategy to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season in the Trendyol Süper Lig, following their interest in other players such as Tammy Abraham and David Jurasek. Etienne Youte, who participated in 28 official matches for Le Havre last season without scoring, is considered a crucial addition to enhance Beşiktaş's defensive lineup.
