Lecce’s sporting director has reportedly flown out to Turkey to clinch a deal for Besiktas striker Burak Yilmaz.
Tuttomercatoweb agrees with Sportitalia in reporting that Mauro Meluso will be in Turkey on Monday.
The website explains talks are already at an ‘intense’ stage and that Lecce hope to secure Burak on a two-year contract this week.
The Serie A new boys are said to ‘believe’ in his arrival, in part due to Besiktas’ precarious financial position.
The former Lazio target is 34 next month but remains one of his country’s most prolific and respected players.
