Ike Uche lost Besiktas deal to wage demands

Turkish giants Beşiktaş have pulled out of transfer talks with  José Rodriguez Baster, the agent of Villarreal CF forward Ikechukwu Uche, over his outrageous financial demands.

Following the relegation of The Yellow Submarine from Spain's top flight at the end of last season, Ikechukwu Uche has been the centre of transfer speculations linking him with an exit from the El Madrigal in the summer transfer market.

Negotiations between the hierarchies at Beşiktaş and Villarreal were fruitful but the Istanbul based club pulled out of discussions after Ikechukwu Uche's agent, José Rodriguez Baster demanded an agency commission of  €1.5 million. The figure was on the high side and could not be met by Beşiktaş.

The 13 - time champions of Turkey had earlier called the Super Eagles Assistant Coach Daniel Amokachi on telephone to ask him his opinions of Ikechukwu Uche. And following Amokachi's positive recommendations, Besiktas had started talks with Uche's representatives.
