Besiktas are leading the chase to sign out-of-favour Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.
According to the 32-year-old's agent, Mithat Halis, a move to Turkey could be a big possibility for his client, who has been displaced as the Blues' first-choice goalkeeper this term by Thibaut Courtois.
Jose Mourinho elected to field the Belgian for the Premier League opener at Burnley in August and Cech has been limited to a handful of cup appearances since.
The Czech Republic international was No.1 at Stamford Bridge for over a decade but it now looks certain he will move on from the west London club to play regular first-team football.
Halis said: "We have not held talks yet. However, Chelsea have recently made an agreement with Besiktas. Chelsea have similar deals with Vitesse and other clubs.
"If Cech does become available Besiktas would become a potential destination."
Besiktas are likely to face fierce competition from French giants PSG and Monaco for Cech, however it appears the Turkish outfit are in pole position to sign him.
