Overview
- Talks accelerated this week and multiple reports say the deal could be completed within hours before the Super Lig window closes on Friday night.
- Personal terms have progressed and Besiktas are awaiting clearance from England to register the transfer, according to reports in England and Turkey.
- Meslier is in the final six months of his contract, and Leeds have permitted an exit for a nominal fee rather than risk losing him for nothing in the summer.
- The 25-year-old has slipped to third-choice behind Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow and has barely featured this season after losing his place last term.
- Besiktas turned to Meslier after unsuccessful moves for Perri and Filip Jorgensen, while one outlet reports he may prefer to wait for free agency in the summer.
