Besiktas chief Ahmet Nur Cebi has confirmed that Manchester United target Wout Weghorst will be allowed to leave the club once the Turkish giants have secured a replacement.
The Manchester Evening News reported on Tuesday that the Reds are close to agreeing a deal for the attacker in a loan transfer that would cost £2.5m. MEN Sport also revealed there is a hold-up with Besiktas’ desired striker successor Vincent Aboubakar, who has been made available by Al-Nassr following Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival.
The Cameroon striker is asking the club for the same wages he received in Saudi Arabia, which has become a hurdle in negotiations. Weghorst has been loaned to Besiktas from parent club Burnley.
