Adriano expected in Turkey on Sunday ahead of Besiktas switch

Adriano Correia, FC Barcelona's Brazilian full-back, appears to be in his final hours at the club.

Luis Enrique does not have him in his plans for the new season, and he is expected to arrive in Istanbul this Sunday, ahead of a move to Besiktas.

According to several Turkish media outlets, Adriano is due to land at around 13:00 local time.

The reports state that he has agreed personal terms on a three-year-contract.

The defender had been included in the Barça list to travel to England for the next stage in pre-season on Monday, but should complete his move, pending a successful medical exam, on Sunday afternoon.

There has been no confirmation from FC Barcelona to the news arriving from Turkey. 

The player had been hoping for a free transfer, but the Catalan club had wanted a fee.

In Turkey, the feeling is that Besiktas will pay 800,000 euros to Barça, while the player will receive 2.4 million euros for each season until 2018.
