However, Centre-half's agent Mustafa Dogru claims it is possible his client could seek pastures new.

“Barca already wanted to sign him when he played for Altinordu. “We negotiated with them and they presented a project, but we thought that he should go to a team where he would be a permanent starter for him to develop properly. For this reason, we decided to accept the Freiburg proposal. “I think only Liverpool have the power to sign Caglar in the Premier League because of his economic conditions, but we must not forget French teams. PSG could be a surprise.” More: Jose Mourinho will bring silverware to Tottenham.
