Newcastle United have reportedly been warned off their pursuit of Besiktas forward Cenk Tosun, whom the club have valued at £88m.
The 26-year-old is said to be on Rafael Benitez's wishlist as he eyes reinforcements for a squad that have failed to take away all three points from their last six games in the Premier League and lurk in 14th place in the league's attack rankings.
With Aleksandar Mitrovic being linked with a move away, Benitez is keen on bolstering his attack but according to TurkishFootball.com he may be forced to look elsewhere due to his supposed worth.
"If you ask me Cenk is worth €100m, he has a very bright future," Besiktas vice president Deniz Atalay is quoted as saying.
"We are starting to reap the fruits from the seeds we sowed."
Tosun was previously considered out of the Magpies' price range at £17m, while Benitez allegedly hopes to cure the club's ills all over the pitch with a January kitty of £20m.
