Besiktas are closing on a deal for Manchester City attacker Samir Nasri.

The Sun says Nasri has entered negotiations with Besiktas.

Besiktas are discussing terms with the midfielder's agent for a loan deal with an option to buy.

The French midfielder was not included in Pep Guardiola's Champions League squad.

Italian clubs, including Roberto Mancini before he was sacked by Inter Milan, enquired for the transfer of Nasri this summer.

However, no one was able to seal a deal.
