Everton are primed for a pivotal summer transfer window as they move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
David Moyes has guided the Toffees to safety and then some after a phenomenal run of form in the Premier League.
Plenty of big names are to depart the North West club, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman, and Abdoulaye Doucoure all leaving.
Elias Jelert is a player Everton have been linked with before, and Galatasaray have revealed their terms.

Galatasaray share Jelert terms
It is not just a farewell to Goodison Park this season, but also a goodbye to several long-serving players.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Everton’s captain Coleman is the pick of the bunch, having made a whopping 428 appearances for the North West club.

Coleman has been an excellent servant for Everton
Coleman is not the only right-back departing as Ashley Young will also leave at the end of the campaign.
That means that Jake O’Brien will be the only recognised right-back Moyes has at his disposal.
With that in mind, a replacement must surely be on the agenda as they look to add competition for the Republic of Ireland international.
Jelert is a name the Toffees have been linked with during the last two windows, and it seems they remain interested.
If they want to land their target, then reports suggest that a loan move is the preferred option for Galatasaray, according to Yenicag (20 May).
The Turkish outlet states that Everton would face competition for Jelert, with interest from the Premier League and La Liga.
A summer sale is not entirely ruled out, though, and it is thought a fee of £6.7million would be enough to land the defender, with Everton said to have already lodged a formal offer.

Right-back a priority for Everton
As Everton aim to improve their squad and climb up the table, a new right-back is paramount.
After losing two experienced heads in that position, O’Brien is left as the solo player on the right of the defence.
The 24-year-old has shown promise and will likely be handed a starting berth under Moyes next season.
However, if the Toffees are going to compete, then they must add quality to challenge the Irishman.
Jelert has made 19 appearances for the Turkish side this season but only started four of those.
However, at 21, he is a player with potential and has also been capped three times by his country, Denmark.
Although Everton needs numbers, a quality right-back must be on the agenda as the North West club enters the post-Coleman era.
