The Besiktas president, Fikret Orman, was at King Power Stadium on Tuesday night to see Slimani play against Fleetwood in the FA Cup, and it is understood that talks are ongoing between the Turkish side and the Algerian striker.
As reported by 'Sky Sports', Besiktas are keen on the 29-year-old who could be allowed to leave after Claude Puel admitted he had too many strikers. The Foxes are prepared to listen to offers for all front men, except Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki.
Arriving in 2016 and becoming Leicester's all-time record-signing, Islam Slimani could leave the King Power Stadium after little over 18 months, but he will not be sold on the cheap.
