Turkish club, Besiktas look set to finalise the deal to bring River Plate youngster, Manuel Lanzini to Istanbul. The transfer has been rumoured for several weeks but now reports are suggesting that this could be completed this week.

River’s 21-year-old playmaker was reported to have agreed the deal to join Besiktas two weeks ago but reported interest from several other European sides saw the deal delayed.

However, a €7 million transfer looks to be completed in the coming days and will see Lanzini join one of Turkey’s biggest clubs and the opportunity to play in the Champions League.
