Lecce have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Besiktas and Turkey striker Burak Yilmaz.

Lecce have been trying for Burak all summer, although the issue had been Besiktas’ unwillingness to release him on a free transfer.

However, Tuttomercatoweb claims a move now looks like going through, with the 34-year-old ‘appreciative’ of the Salentini’s insistence on bringing him in.

Lecce have been trying for Burak all summer, although the issue had been Besiktas’ unwillingness to release him on a free transfer.

However, Tuttomercatoweb claims a move now looks like going through, with the 34-year-old ‘appreciative’ of the Salentini’s insistence on bringing him in.

The website expects the Serie A new boys to pay €1.5m for the ex-Lazio target, given he had one year left on his contract and his current club are in some financial difficulty.

Burak, meanwhile, posted a picture of a heart in the middle of his chest on Instagram, which some have viewed as him saying goodbye to Besiktas.
