Besiktas have released a statement announcing that reports suggesting striker Wout Weghorst is set to leave the club for a Premier League side are 'fictitious' and denying the existence of an exit clause in his contract.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with a loan move for the 30-year-old striker, who is currently on loan with the Turkish giants from Burnley. The Manchester Evening News understands that the club are working on a compensation package that would convince Besiktas to terminate Weghorst's loan and allow the striker to move to Old Trafford.
The Reds have made an offer to Burnley, which has been passed on to the Turkish giants, but Besiktas have rejected that proposal. They claimed that they plan to keep hold of the player until the summer.
