Aston Villa failed with an offer for Besiktas attacker Semih Kilicsoy last month.
Fanatik says Villa made a cash offer for the Turkey international in the final days of the summer market.

The Villans bid €15m for Kilicsoy.
However, Besiktas immediately rejected the proposal, insisting Kilicsoy wasn't for sale.
Villa could yet try again for the player in January.
