According to a claim in the Turkish media Napoli midfielder Jens Cajuste is on the verge of signing for Besiktas.
The 25-year-old has been linked with Burnley and Crystal Palace in recent weeks, but it now seems he will be joining up with Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
Sabah report Cajuste will today travel to Istanbul ahead of his proposed transfer to Besiktas and pending a medical he will sign for the Black Eagles.
The Super Lig side will initially loan the Swedish international for €1m, but an obligation fee of €6.5m will be activated once he plays 15 games.
This could come as a blow to Burnley and Crystal Palace who were reportedly trying to convince the player that a return to the Premier League was the best decision. The package offered by Besiktas, and the favourable Turkish tax laws, has swung things.
Cajuste spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town and the Tractors Boys had an option to sign him on permanent deal. However, with their relegation back to the Championship the Swede retuned to his parent club Napoli.
The central midfielder 33 appearances in all competitions for Ipswich Town, scoring one goal. He’s contracted to Napoli until June 2028.
