YAKIN IN LIMBO AS PSG MOVE STALLS
Basle midfielder Hakan Yakin is in limbo after his proposed move to Paris St Germain stalled.
The Swiss club had set PSG a Monday night deadline to complete the transfer, but there was no word from Paris.
Basle have rejected an initial bid for Yakin from PSG, urging them to increase their offer or face up to missing out on the player who made a big impression in last season´s Champions League.
Yakin has been linked with Liverpool, Celtic and Atletico Madrid, among a host of clubs this summer, and his departure seems inevitable.
But whether he will be heading to the French capital depends on PSG´s next move.
They are keen to recruit a midfielder, and playmaker Yakin is the number one target of coach Vahid Halilhodzic.
Also reportedly in their sights is Brazilian midfielder Kaka who impressed in the recent Gold Cup, but Yakin is the priority.
He was in Paris last week for a medical, but it is the financial terms of the deal which have halted its progress.
Basle will let Turkey-born Yakin leave, but they believe PSG are trying to get him on the cheap.
Halilhodzic said in L´Equipe: " It is far from sealed. Things are complicated.
" People want to make money, we will have to fight."
The deal is still likely to go through this week, providing there is some give from both parties.
And Yakin would represent a cheaper investment than Kaka whose club Sao Paulo are seeking £14m for their star man.
" Kaka interests me from what I have seen on a video tape," Halilhodzic added.
" But I cannot recruit a player from a tape, I need to follow him at a few matches at least.
" I would like to know his football and personal qualities because at PSG we must think twice before spending one euro."
After PSG´s 2-0 defeat to Porto in a friendly on Saturday night, Halilhodzic is stepping up his pursuit of attack-minded players.
" We were not far from being ridiculed," Halilhodzic said after the match,
" I did not see many positive things on the pitch apart from our behaviour.
" But I know what we need to do to compensate for our weaknesses, we still need one or two players to brighten up our game."
Whoever comes in will be asked to fill the role vacated by Brazilian Ronaldinho when he joined Barcelona in a £21million deal earlier this month.
