According to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, Fenerbahce intend to wrap up a deal for the Nigeria skipper Joseph Yobo. The 31-year-old centre-back spent the last two seasons on loan at the Turkish vice-champions.

Everton have valued Yobo at three million euros, a figure the Yellow Canaries are not prepared to part with because the defender has no resale value.

Negotiations between both clubs are ongoing with Everton sticking to their initial valuation of Yobo. There's now likelihood that Yobo would spent next season on loan again at Fenerbahce if they fail to buy him completely from Everton.

If the management of Fenerbahce decides that Yobo arrives Istanbul on a permanent basis, he would be offered a two-year contract (option of an additional season), with annual wages of 1.5 million euros.

Another hypothesis. If  Fenerbahce can not have Yobo which is unlikely, another option the club is considering is the Brazilian and Inter Milan defender Lucio.
