# €17m Bid On The Cards From Levy?! …Madness

**Tottenham are reported to be lining up a bid for Portuguese midfielder Manuel Fernandes, according to Turkish media *[Haberturk](https://www.haberturk.com/)*. The 26-year-old currently plays for Besiktas in the Turkish League.**

Fernandes has previously played in the Premier League whilst on loan to Everton for whom he made a total of 21 appearances. He has also played for Benfica, Portsmouth (loan) and Valencia.

He signed a new three-year contract for Besiktas in [July 2011](https://www.kap.gov.tr/yay/Bildirim/Bildirim.aspx?id=160644) which will make any attempt to sign him more expensive.

Fernandes has had a chequered career with permanent moves to Everton, Portsmouth and Internazionale all breaking down for a variety of reasons, including prohibitive cost and injury. He has also been capped eight times by Portugal.

Spurs are said to be prepared to offer as much as €17million for the player.
